Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) workers on September 25 were seen targeting Muslim bouncers at Garba events in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, demanding their immediate dismissal, citing religious reasons.
As Navratri celebrations have begun, Garba events across India have seen the exclusion of non-Hindu individuals from these events, prompting backlash from various communities.
Hindutva workers demand removal of Muslim bouncers
The Hindutva workers came in large numbers to the Ahmedabad Garba event, demanding the removal of all Muslim bouncers, arguing that Navratri is a religious event where the presence of Muslims disrespects the procession, prompting a police response.
The incident was recorded and posted on the official account of Bajrang Dal, Gujarat.
“In Karnavati, a team of #ajdal workers is politely guiding non-Hindu bouncers away from every party plot and garba pandal during #Navratri, and the organisers are acknowledging their mistakes,” the X post read.
A Swarna Navratri event in Surat city organised two days prior by Dhaval Munjani and Prince Patel was halted for approximately an hour after VHP and Bajrang Dal workers opposed to Muslim drummers performing at the event.
