A day after the Bombay High Court refused a city mosque to open up for Ramadan prayers, the Maharashtra Government opposed a petition by two Jain trusts seeking permission for devotees to collect pious boiled food from the trust s premises during the nine-day-long Ayambil fast.
The State cited its April 13 circular, directing all religious places to remain closed for outsiders for the safety of citizens, due to the surge in the Covid-19 cases in the State. It informed the court that devotees may congregate for food collection. Yesterday the Court refused the mosque to open. There should not be bias alleged on the part of the State. Our stand is clear, all religious places should remain closed.
