A ban on the entry of non-Hindus into the Garba events...
Now in maharashtra, there is going to be a political struggle once again over Garba. vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has demanded that non-Hindus should not be given entry in programs like Garba and Dandiya. The vishwa Hindu Parishad in Maharashtra's nagpur on monday demanded that entry to Garba and Dandiya events during navratri festival should be allowed only after verification of identity cards and non-Hindus should not be allowed in the venues.
The Vidarbha unit of the VHP has written a letter to the maharashtra government and the nagpur Police Commissioner in this regard. Traditional Garba programs will be organized during the nine-day festival of Goddess Durga that began on Monday.
VHP's Vidarbha region secretary Govind Shende said in a release that several Garba and Dandiya programs are organized by various organizations and mandals in Vidarbha, where girls, women and families participate in large numbers.
Why did VHP demand a ban on the entry of non-Hindus?
Govind Shende said that Garba and Dandiya are not just entertainment but a way of worship and people of other religions should not be allowed to enter their venues. He said that people's aadhar cards should be checked before entry and CCTVs should be installed at the venues.
VHP remembered love-jihad in Garba!
According to news agency, Govind Shende alleged that cases of love jihad have increased and such examples have been seen in Garba and Dandiya programs as well. The VHP has also contacted the mandals and the organizers of the event to take appropriate measures during the festival.
