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.
