Srinagar: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday paused during his speech as Azaan at a nearby mosque was underway in Kashmir’s Baramullah.
The video of the incident is being widely shared across social media platforms with several lauding the BJP leader’s move to stop his speech mid-way after hearing Azaan.
He then continued his speech after the Azaan as the audience gave him a round of applause for stopping the speech.
A few years ago, the BJP leader had stopped his speech midway in Kolkata. He had said that he did not want to give West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee an excuse against him or the party hence stop his speech during Azaan.

Former minister C M Ibrahim announces to launch new regional party for Karnataka
Kalaburagi: Two years after being expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), former minister C.M. Ibrahim has announced that he will launch a new regional political party in Karnataka on January 24, reported Deccan Herald.

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.
His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
