“Holi Will Be Celebrated In AMU At Any Cost": Satish Gautam, BJP MP From Aligarh
As the festival of Holi this year will be celebrated on March 14, Friday, the debate on the celebration of Holi has erupted as Muslims are observing Ramadan in March. On Friday, Muslims gather in mosques to perform special prayers. There are concerns that the coincidence of the celebration of the festival of Holi and observance of Ramadan Friday will not give rise to any kind of community tension among groups of people.
When asked about the Holi festival celebration on Friday in Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), the BJP MP Satish Gautam from Aligarh said Hindu students should celebrate Holi without any fear. “If there will be any restrictions, I will see the matter. I am here to look after this. Till I am here, Holi will be celebrated with fanfare,” the BJP MP said.

Moreover, in one of the public gatherings, the UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was seen saying that Friday comes 52 times in an year and Holi comes once in an year. “So people should celebrate the festivals together by considering the sentiments of others. The colour is played till 11 am and Friday prayers are performed at 1 pm. There is a gap of two hours. There will not be any problem in playing colors”, he said.

Also, a statement made by Sambhal CO Anuj Chaudhary is being criticised by the people where he said, “If you believe the colors of Holi will harm your faith, stay indoors on that day”.
We need this no non-sense approach and such dedicated persons at the helm of the affairs.
Salute to Anuj Chaudhari. In fact, the SP, SDM and DM of Sambhal deserve salute from all of us. They are doing a wonderful job.
Let us not be thankless to these Heroes. @myogiadityanath pic.twitter.com/Ipj657MT1e
