Several Imams and Muezzins from across the Telangana staged a silent protest on Monday at Haj House Nampally against the Congress led government for its failure to release their honorarium.
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) had fixed honorarium of Rs. 5000 to the Imam (one who leads the prayers) and Muezzin (the one who give call for prayer), in the State. After scrutinizing the applications, the State government through TS Wakf Board pays the honorarium to them. The Congress party during its election campaign assured to hike the amount.
