A controversy has erupted over the cancellation of a Garba event in Nagpur, with conflicting reports about the reasons behind the decision. Organizers claim that the event was halted due to a lack of No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), while police officials state that the event was stopped for not adhering to safety protocols. The disagreement has sparked debates about the role of religious organizations and law enforcement in regulating cultural events. Community leaders are calling for a transparent investigation into the matter to determine the true cause of the cancellation. They emphasize the importance of preserving cultural traditions while ensuring public safety. The incident has highlighted the need for clear guidelines and communication between event organizers, religious groups, and authorities to prevent misunderstandings in the future. #news #Newsone #NagpurNews #GarbaEvent #EventCancellation #VHP #PublicSafety #CulturalEvents #CommunityDebate #IndiaNews
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has urged garba-dandiya event organizers to permit entry only to Hindus, insisting that participants show their Aadhaar card and apply a tilak before entering. Meanwhile, BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma of Huzur, MP has said non-Hindus wishing to join garba during Navratri should first “return to the Sanatan fold” and perform rituals such as applying tilak, drinking Gangajal, and performing aarti. Critics warn these demands violate secular and inclusive norms, especially as they use identity proof like Aadhaar and religious rituals as prerequisites for participation. #VHP #Garba2025 #NavratriCelebrations #ReligiousIdentity #AadhaarDebate #TilakControversy #HinduRituals #RameshwarSharma #SanatanDharma #SecularismDebate #ReligiousFreedom #CulturalEvents #SocialDebate #IndiaPolitics #News #newsone
