‘Not against Muslims joining Garba’: BJP’s clarification cheers organisers in Indore

Weeks after a BJP legislator in Madhya Pradesh, Usha Thakur, urged Garba festival organisers to stop Muslim men from entering the venues, the party’s state unit has clarified its stand. “Party workers were not against members of any community but proper checking of identity proofs of those entering the venue is a must from the security point of view. As many lumpen elements enter garba venues who create nuisance,” BJP state President Nandkumar Singh Chauhan told reporters.
