Amit Shah stops his speech for Azaan in Kashmir's Baramullah, gets applauded by audience
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.

Shivaji statue collapse case: HC grants bail to consultant Chetan Patil
Mumbai (PTI): The Bombay High Court on Thursday granted bail to consultant Chetan Patil arrested in connection with the collapse of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj''s statue at Rajkot fort in Malvan in August.
A 35-foot statue of the iconic Maratha warrior king collapsed in Sindhudurg district on August 26, nearly nine months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled it on Navy Day.
Patil was arrested on August 30 from Kolhapur.
A single bench of Justice A S Kilor on Thursday held that no case was made out to implicate Patil in the case as he had not been appointed as the structural designer of the statue.
The bench further said Patil had only submitted a structural stability report of the pedestal of the statue and the pedestal was intact even after the collapse.
Another accused, Jaydeep Apte, who was the sculptor and contractor, was also arrested in the case. The HC said it would hear his bail plea on November 25.
The Sindhudurg police had registered an FIR under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for negligence and other offences last month against Apte and Patil for the statue's collapse.
Patil and Apte moved HC seeking bail after a sessions court rejected their pleas.
