BJP MLA clarifies controversial statement on banning Muslims in garba

Indore, Sep 20 (ANI): BJP MLA Usha Thakur on Saturday clarified her controversial statement on banning Muslims from entering 'Garba' venues. Thakur said that her statements have been misinterpreted by media and clarified that she had respected the culture of Muslim minority community in terms of praying the Lord which they do not believe in. She added that our National Anthem was reduced to 2 stanzas from 5 showing respect to the Muslims community as they do not believe in Lord Durga so how can they be doing 'Garba' paying respect to the lord. She also said that the identities of those entering into Garba venues will be checked irrespective of the religion they belong to. Sep 20, 2014
