In a social media publish on X, Naqvi criticized the officers, and mentioned, “The hasty orders of some over-zealous officers could give rise to the illness of untouchability…Religion should be revered, however untouchability should not be inspired.”
Naqvi additional quoted Saint Ravidas’s couplet, saying, “Janm jaat mat poochhie, ka jaat aru paat. Raidas poot sab Prabhu ke, koye nahin jaat kujat.”
This assertion follows a current directive from Muzaffarnagar Police requiring all eateries on the Kanwar Yatra path to show the names of householders to stop any ‘confusion.’
The Kanwar Yatra this yr is about to begin on July 22, marking the start of the Shravan month. This month-long competition attracts folks from throughout the nation to Haridwar and Rishikesh to gather water from the Ganga and provide it at Shiva temples upon their return residence.
