Hindutva outfit seeks ban on Muslims’ participation in Holi celebrations in UP
Lucknow: The Dharma Raksha Sangh, a Hindu nationalist outfit based in Vrindavan, has sought a ban on Muslims’ participation in Holi celebrations in Uttar Pradesh.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the group has urged Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to impose restrictions on Muslims’ participation.
Dharam Raksha Sangh’s president Saurabh Gaur claimed that recent incidents in Bareilly showed people belonging to the Muslim community threatening the Hindus.
“We have decided to prohibit the entry of Muslims in Holi celebrations at major pilgrimage sites like Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandgaon, Barsana, Gokul and Dauji,” he stated.
The organisation declared that Holi is a festival of love and harmony for the Sanatan community and opposed any involvement of Muslims in selling colors or entering the festivities.
