Earlier this month, the Supreme Court had asked the EC to see whether the polls could be commenced at 5 am in view of Ramzan and to pass the necessary order.
As the month of Ramzan has commenced, many observant Muslims across the world have registered their protest against the Chinese atrocity upon the Uighur Muslims by calling for a boycott of Chinese products during Ramzan
The Supreme Court, on May 2, had asked the Election Commission to consider the plea seeking to change the poll timings from 7 AM to 5 AM during Ramzan coinciding with the last three phases of the Lok Sabha elections.
As the month of Ramzan will begin from May 6, three phases of voting will take place during the Ramazan month when Muslims observe fast from dawn to sunset.
