New Delhi: Batla House in Jamia Nagar, New Delhi which once dominated national headlines as hub of “Indian Mujahedeen” activities and the infamous Batla House Encounter witnessed an entirely different scenario on 26th January 2018 when 69th Repulic Day was celebrated with traditional zeal before Friday prayers.
The R Day celebration here was organized by Mumbai based journalist Danish Reyaz of Maeeshat Media. While Ulemas and Madrasa students unfurled the tricolour, patriotic fervour gripped the area.
