Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh on Tuesday, February 18, targeted the Congress government for giving allowing Muslim employees to leave offices early at 4 p.m. during the incoming Ramzan month. The relaxation of work timings is regular and happens every year in the state.
On February 17, the Telangana government has issued an order permitting all government Muslim employees/teachers/contract /outsourcing/boards/corporations and public sector employees to leave their offices/schools at 4.00 p.m. during the Month of Ramzan from March 2 to March 31 (both days inclusive) to offer prayers.
Attacking the Telangana government over the issue, Raja Singh said “I want to ask CM Revanth Reddy if there are similar benefits extended to Hindus on occasion of Ugadi and other Hindu festivals. The state government does not make arrangements for Hindu festivals
