BJP MLA KS Eshwarappa makes controversial remarks during his speech in Mangaluru as Azaan plays in the background. "This (Azaan) is a headache for me, does Allah hear prayers only if one screams on a microphone? is Allah deaf? This issue must be resolved soon"

@zoo_bear Ok. I'm a Hindu. But can I ask the same question back to sanghi 🐕s? There are lakhs and lakhs of temples in India, where mantras are played through the loudspeakers every day. Do those gods only listen to their prayers, then? Jiyo aur jeene do shanti aur bhaichare se... 🙏

Psalm 19 KJV: The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, And his circuit unto the ends of it: And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: And in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, And I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

@zoo_bear Oh. Mr Eswarappa, Do you know there is a bell in all temp|es? Does Eshwar hear prayers only when the bell is rung? The issue of your big0try must be resolved soon

Hey MLA saheb. You don't hear microphone blaring from temples Venkatesha suprabhatam?? Only one ear works

@PMOIndia Karnataka BJP leader Ishwarappa asks if Allah is deaf!. Is this OK? We have seen our PM stopping his speech the moment he listens azan, as a mark of respect for other faiths. Why he is not a roll model for these leaders like Ishwarappa?! @BJP4Karnataka @INCKarnataka

He is spot on!! What's wrong? Why do you get deliberately hyper when someone raises a genuine concern about NOISE POLLUTION that is in the realm of MUSLIMS? Any lecture on pollution, environment. reform in religion is only meant for HINDUS? Hmm MC?

Tell Saudia no , why drama here? When a muslim Country can ,why we cant ??. Don't tell we r still slave to mughals . Disgusted with this behaviour.

Full translation: "Freedom fighters like Savarkar, Subhash Chandra Bose, Chandra shekhar azad etc, did they indulge in the freedom struggle to build roads, drains or buildings? (azaan playing in the background). Wherever I go this is a headache for me." (1)

"Have no doubt there will be an end to this soon as there is a supreme court judgement. Honourable PM Modi has asked us to respect all religions, but I must ask can Allah hear only if you scream on a microphone?". (2)

"Even we Hindus pray in temples, sing shlokas & bhajans, we have more faith than them & it's Bharat mata that protects religions, but if you say that Allah listens only if you pray with a microphone i must question if he's deaf, it's not needed, this issue must be resolved". (3)

@zoo_bear And what about sound is coming from temple in morning, it hurts ???

I'm all for a ban on loudspeakers - as long as it's applicable to everyone, not selectively. By the way this tool was using a loudspeaker for his speech or not? May be we should start with banning it in political meetings so that at least some ears are spared of the hatred.
