BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh home minister Narottam Mishra on Wednesday welcomed the initiative to install CCTV cameras in mosques.
“The initiative of the Bhopal city qazi to impose CCTVs at mosques is good. If it removes confusion and builds mutual trust, it should be welcomed,” Mishra said after a delegation of Muslim leaders, led by Bhopal Shehr Qazi Syed Mustaq Ali Nadvi, met him on Wednesday.
The Shehr Qazi has asked all members to install CCTV cameras around all mosques.
Mishra said: “I met them and tried to resolve all their apprehensions. I made it very clear that the innocent will not be harassed but the guilty will not be spared.” He also urged Muslim leaders to cooperate in identifying those who disturb communal harmony.
Mishra denied reports that many people were putting their houses on sale and migrating.

Mishra denied reports that many people were putting their houses on sale and migrating. “It’s baseless information,” he told mediapersons.
On the Khargone violence, Mishra said the local administration will take its call on relaxation in curfew after reviewing the situation. There is peace and order in the district now, he said.
“Many festivals are coming up. In view of this, all the districts of Madhya Pradesh are on alert mode. Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has instructed all ministers to keep an eye on their respective districts as a precautionary measure,” the home minister said.
