Assam Assembly scraps Namaaz break, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma lauds decision

The Assam Assembly has withdrawn the rule that allowed a two-hour Nammaz Break on Fridays. Chief Minister Hemanta Biswa Sarma praised this move as a step towards prioritizing productivity and eliminating colonial-era practices. The practice, introduced by Muslim League’s Syed Saadulla in 1937, has been deemed outdated by the state lawmakers.
