Truth
After this video went viral the deputy chief minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia clarified on his official twitter account that there is no restriction on azaan. In the lockdown, there is a complete ban on assembly of people for prayers in mosques or at any other religious places.
अजान के लिए कोई पाबंदी नहीं है. लॉकडाउन में मस्जिदों में नमाज़ के लिए इकट्ठा होने या किसी अन्य धार्मिक स्थल पर पूजा आदि के लिए लोगों के इकट्ठा होने पर पूरी तरह पाबंदी है. https://t.co/OxYGiqaIrR
