Garba Erupts Controversy; Entry Banned, Why Hindus Can't Defend Religious Rights? | India Upfront

In the latest episode of India Upfront with Rahul ShivShankar, we will discuss the row erupted by Garba restrictions. This Navratri, access to Madhya Pradesh's Garba pandals would be denied without legitimate identity credentials. The decision has been made to prohibit persons from entering Garba venues after concealing their identity to engage in 'Love Jihad.' "If anyone wants to attend the Garba pandal, their identity cards should be inspected, and Muslims should be denied entry," said Pragya Thakur, BJP MP from Bhopal. "If there are spiritually observant people who are uncomfortable with non-spiritually loyal people, their feelings should be honored. And the activities in question are either private gatherings or private places "Rahul Easwar adds. "Few extreme groups seek to turn this into a political or religious issue. It is terrible to issue a diktat excluding Muslims or a certain group from participating in international events "Tanveer Ahmed, JDS concurs. "There are many who despise Hindu gods and mock Hindu gods but attend Garba. Should we let it happen? I may allow Namaaz in my house, but will a Muslim allow Bhajan? I have no understanding of this hypocrisy "Ratan Sharda says.To know more, watch more!#garba #navratripooja #hinduvsmuslimRead More
