The Vishva Hindu Parishad has announced it will prevent Muslims from attending certain Navratri events. To enforce this, organizers are required to verify the Hindu identity of attendees through measures such as Aadhaar cards and tilak application.

Opposition leaders have spoken out against this decision, expressing concerns about communal harmony. They are questioning whether a prominent RSS figure supports this move.

Further details are available regarding the backlash against the VHP's decision and the pressure on the government to respond to these exclusionary measures.
