Government resumes liquor exemption during Navratri but allows holiday for Namaz: Delhi BJP President
Amid protests from the BJP, the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) on Tuesday withdrew its order to give a daily break of two hours to Muslim employees during Ramzan.
In Tuesday’s order, the DJB recalled its decision to allow the break, which it had approved through an order on Monday. No reason was given for the withdrawal and a Delhi government spokesperson did not comment when contacted.
Earlier in the day, Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta said through a tweet that the DJB’s order on Monday showed the “real face of Arvind Kejriwal”. On one hand, the government was “distributing narcotics by giving 25% discount on alcohol” on the first day of Navratras and on the other, Delhi Jal Board employees were given 2 hours off from their working hours to offer prayers during Ramzan Was. “If this is not appeasement, then what is?” He asked.
