Anand Ranganathan Blasts Opposition Over Muzaffarnagar Kanwar Yatra Order Row, Shares His Viewpoint

Kanwar Yatra 2024: The Muzaffarnagar police have asked eateries, including roadside carts, along the 240-km route of the Kanwar Yatra to display names of owners and staff members to “avoid any confusion” among the yatris. On Times Now's special show India Upfront with Pranesh Roy, Anand Ranganathan said, "The state is not banning any person of any religious denomination from setting up shop." Watch full video.

Displaying your and your shop's name, especially the shop's name on the framework of the shop is the law of the land. It has to be followed at any cost. Otherwise, shut down your shop or go to jail. These people have made a mockery of our laws and freedom. This is what Congress and the Muslim appeasing party's want. This is what will happen to any state or any district which has Muslim majority, no offence to my genuinely liberal, educated, inclusive and peace loving Bharatiya Muslim brotheren.

[@56pratik]

You written nothing but gibberish here. So according to you anybody who doesn't like to listen to A.R.Rahman or Rafi is a religious bigot and Islamophobia which can simply be termed as personal choice. Your second point reeks of another term used widely on the internet white guilt used in your context as Hindu guilt.. why should I be guilty for what my stupid ancestors did I don't how long ago. Why should I pay for their crimes..I don't say it wasn't wrong but for that you want to take away a basic right of mine. So why don't you undo the ingredients section for packaged goods as well while you are at it. Your third point is the most appalling coz Halal actually stands for everything that you mentioned yet it's not Hindu you know..

Dr. Anand Ranganathan, how could you compare the Times Now channel with pushcart vendors? Buyers do not need to ask for their names. Even in Western countries, such vendors do not display their names.they are not such big vendors to display their identity. BJP leaders are clever enough to divide Hindus and Muslims without explicitly mentioning either group. The Yogi government has ordered that all shops along the Kanwar Yatra route must display their shop name, owner, and staff names to prevent any confusion among Hindu pilgrims. However, this reasoning seems questionable. If it were true, why should even fruit vendors be required to display their names? They are selling fruits, not non-vegetarian food. This directive appears to be aimed at ensuring that Hindus buy from Hindu-owned shops, implicitly suggesting that Muslims have no right to earn their livelihood from Hindu religious activities. It is evident how much the BJP dislikes the Muslim community.

[@janbawaingade303]

Its our right to know who is the owner. If we r eating from same pot used to prepare beef, we have to ensure that our food is spit free, urine free. We want to make sure that our money is not used for terrsm. Instead blaming bjp inrerospect. Bjp didn't tell u to spit in food
