BJP MP Calls for CCTV in Mosques, Madrasas for National Security
A politician named Arun Govil, who is a member of the BJP party, suggested that the government should put CCTV cameras in mosques and madrasas.
He said this is not about any religion but about keeping everyone safe.
He mentioned that other places like temples, schools, and hospitals already have CCTV cameras and that similar security measures are used in places like Mecca.
He believes that having the same security rules for all religious places is important for the safety of all citizens.
He also said that security should not be about religion but about protecting people.
He won his seat in Parliament recently by a small margin.
BJP MP Arun Govil proposed mandatory CCTV installation in mosques and madrasas for national security.
Govil argued that security standards should be uniform across all religious and public spaces.
He cited the presence of CCTVs in temples, churches, gurdwaras, schools, colleges, hospitals, and markets.
Govil referenced international precedents like CCTVs in Mecca and Saudi madrasas.
He emphasized that the proposal is not against any religion but for the equal right to security.
