Mumbai: Members of Hindu extremist groups raised saffron flags and chanted Hindutva slogans at Haji Malang Dargah in BJP-ruled Maharashtra state of India.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, a video that has gone viral on social media shows a group of individuals waving saffron flags and chanting \u2018Jai Shri Ram\u2019 during the annual Urs festival at the Malang Gad hill in Thane district.<\/p>\n

The Dargah Committee has strongly condemned the act, stating, “This is a dargah, a place of worship for people of all faiths. Such attempts to alter its religious significance are unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

Hindu groups argue that the site originally belonged to them. A representative from one of the groups supporting the slogans stated, “This is a temple, and our ancestors worshipped here. We are reclaiming our heritage.”<\/p>\n

One of the most contentious aspects of the video is the presence of a police officer standing in the background, observing the incident without taking any action. This has raised concerns about law enforcement\u2019s role in maintaining communal harmony.<\/p>\n

Social activist Imran Khan condemned the incident, saying, “This is an attempt to disturb peace. The authorities must take strict action to prevent such provocations in religious places.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
