Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently while addressing the victory speech of Tripura elections in Delhi, his sweet gesture won hearts of one and all. He was talking about BJP’s victory in Tripura.
While addressing the people at headquarters in Delhi, Modi Ji halted his speech midway as he heard the Azaan, the Muslim call for prayers, playing from a mosque nearby. Even thousands of people who had gathered there waited for the Azaan to complete.
Resuming his speech after the Azaan ended, he said, “Azaan(call to prayer) was on, there shouldn’t be any problem in anyone’s prayers because of us, that is why I paused for few moments.”
The call for Maghreb Azaan is given at dusk & even though he had just started the speech, he didn’t hesitate to pause it. Modi also informed everyone present there about the Azaan. For 2 minutes, there was complete silence.
When the Azaan got over, Modi again chanted, “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”; everyone was enthusiastic to join him in this.

He even observed 2 minutes of silence for all those BJP workers who were killed in political violence in Tripura. We loved the way Modi respected the Azaan and asked everyone to wait till it’s over.
This is not the first time that the Prime Minister has halted his speech to let an ‘Azaan’ from a mosque get over. In March 2016, while campaigning for the BJP in West Bengal’s Kharagpur and in December 2017, while campaigning for the BJP in Gujarat, the Prime Minister halted his speech for a while until the ‘Azaan’ was over.
