‘Festivals Are Inclusive’: Amruta Fadnavis Differs With VHP’s Call To Keep Muslims Out Of Garba Events
Amid a controversy over the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)’s call to keep Muslims out of garba and dandiya events in Maharashtra, Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, has said festivals are inclusive and there is nothing wrong with Muslims attending the celebrations. Her remarks come days after the VHP announced that Muslims would not be allowed to participate in garba and dandiya events across the state during Navratri, which begins on October 11. Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Nitesh Rane has backed the VHP’s call, alleging that cases of “love jihad” tend to increase during such festivals, news agency PTI reported.
“If a Muslim person also comes there and enjoys the festival properly, I do not see anything wrong in it,” Amruta Fadnavis told reporters.
