Supplications beseeching the Almighty to end the Israel-Hamas war, and prayers for the Palestine resonated across the prayers halls of mosques across Hyderabad, even as police stepped up vigil on Friday.
In other parts of the city, at certain locations including Raj Bhavan Road, flags of Israel were placed on the road with a few pedestrians walking over them.
Several young men and women, carrying banners expressing solidarity with Palestine, gathered near the Ambedkar Statue near the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation headquarters at Tank Bund. Protesters held signs which read: “Long Live Palestine” and “Gaza Will Never Die”. The protesters belonged to the Disha Students Organisation and the Naujawan Bharat Sabha. However, a few minutes into their protest, police reached the spot and detained the protesters. They were then taken to the Saifabad Police Station.
