Maharashtra Minister Backs VHP Ban on Muslims at Navratri Events
Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane has supported the Vishva Hindu Parishad's (VHP) call to prevent Muslims from participating in Navratri events in the state. Rane cited concerns about "love jihad," alleging that allowing Muslim entry would lead to an increase in such cases. The VHP's ban has drawn attention, with Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut calling for clarification from VHP leader Mohan Bhagwat. The VHP's stance has been reported across various outlets, with some highlighting the minister's justification.
