Temples Across Karnataka To Hold Special Prayers Honouring Armed Forces After Operation Sindoor

The move comes days after similar rituals were held in temples, underscoring a broader effort to unite communities in support of national security personnel.

Minority Welfare Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan announced that Jumma (Friday) prayers will be observed in all mosques, including those managed by the Karnataka State Waqf Board, with intentions focused on the safety, strength, and success of India’s military.

“These prayers are not only a tribute to our brave soldiers but also a collective expression of our hopes and blessings for their mission,” Minister Khan said, as reported by India Today. He also confirmed that he has formally written to the Chief Executive Officer of the Waqf Board, instructing that the prayers be conducted in all applicable mosques.
