MAPUSA
An annual general body meeting of Jama Masjid, the oldest and largest mosque, at Angod in Mapusa was adjourned due to a law and order problem on Sunday morning.
A fracas between two groups led to a tense situation during the general body meeting called by the managing committee allegedly without permission.
A group led by Feroz Khan alleged that the members of the existing managing committee had fraudulently admitted new members without following the rules.
However, the president of the present managing committee, Feroz Katavlia, refuted the allegation stating that only members who are active in the masjid were admitted.
The group led by Feroz Khan created a ruckus after the managing committee refused them to attend the meeting.
Defending their action, the managing committee said that those who were creating problems were not members of the committee.
The dispute between the two groups led to some anxious moments outside the Jama Masjid hall.
Joint Mamlatdar Varsha Parab intervened in the matter and after discussing with both the groups, it was decided to adjourn the meeting over a law and order problem. Mapusa Police was present at the site.
