In the wake of increasing incidents of Muslim crimes during Garba events, the organisers have started restricting the entry of non-Hindus to the Garba Pandals. This year, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad gave a call to ban Muslims from attending garba and dandiya events during Navratri across Maharashtra.As Navratri is approaching and preparations are on for Garba events across the country, the Islamo-leftist coterie has turned on its activism mode for ensuring unrestricted participation of Muslims, primarily Muslim men, in Garba programs even as Islam prohibits participation in non-Muslim festivities.
