Indian Thought Latest News & Views
MA Khan has welcomed the saints’ demand for a ban on Muslims’ entry in Maha Kumbh. He has said that Muslims should stay away from Maha Kumbh Mela and welcome (welcomed:) the saints’ demand. In support of his point, he gave the example of Mecca Medina. He said that when the Saudi Arabian government ensures that people of any religion other than Muslims cannot go there during Haj, then why will people of other religions other than Hindus go to Kumbh.
Saints have demanded that Muslims’ entry in Kumbh Mela should be banned. In such a situation, Muslim shopkeepers will also not be allowed to set up shops in Kumbh Mela. This is the reason why there is more chaos. Kumbh Mela lasts for 45 days and it is the world’s largest fair, in which crores of people participate. If the shops are not set up during this time, the shopkeepers will suffer a lot. The Akhara has refused to allow Muslim shopkeepers to set up shops in Kumbh. Many people are opposing this.
What did MA Khan say?
MA Khan said, “The whole of India is one, but every Indian respects his religion as much as he respects his country. When the Muslim community’s Hajj program is going on, only the Muslim community can enter Mecca Medina in Saudi Arabia. Because Hajj is a religious program and the government of Saudi Arabia does not allow any non-Muslim to enter Mecca Medina. At that time, no person of any religion from any country opposes it, then when the festival of faith of Hindu brothers, Maha Kumbh, comes in our country Hindustan and the saints of the Hindu community say that no Muslim should enter our Kumbh, then there is nothing wrong in it. Anyway, Muslims should not have any concern with Kumbh Mela because Maha Kumbh is a festival of Hindu society. Muslims should welcome this demand of the saints.
