On April 6th, the country will celebrate Ram Navami, a festival marked by processions and celebrations. However, over the years, violent incidents during the processions have raised concerns, leading to heightened security measures. This year, multiple states have issued alerts, with particular focus on West Bengal, where political tensions have escalated over the celebrations. In West Bengal, the High Court has allowed Hindu organizations to carry out processions under certain conditions, following a legal battle. The court's decision has led the state government to deploy increased security forces across sensitive areas like Kolkata, Murshidabad, and Howrah. Additional police personnel, drones, and body cameras have been set up to monitor the processions. Police have been directed to prevent any clashes, especially near mosques along the procession routes. In other states like Bihar, Maharashtra, and Jharkhand, authorities are also on high alert. In Bihar, DJ music has been banned during processions, while Maharashtra has deployed security forces and drones in sensitive areas. Jharkhand has similarly strengthened security in critical districts. Amid this, political leaders are exchanging barbs, with the BJP accusing the Mamata Banerjee-led government of trying to suppress Hindu celebrations. As the festival approaches, the question remains whether the heightened tensions will escalate further, particularly with upcoming elections in West Bengal.

01:36there will be security forces stationed.
01:38Where there is a mosque on the way to the Shobha Yatra, there will be even more strict security.
01:42After Maharashtra, now we will give you an update on Jharkhand.

01:48where Palamu, Garhwa and Latihar are being kept on alert.
01:52Drones are being kept on alert at these places.
01:54And there are many sensitive areas that have been identified.
01:58External security forces have been stationed at these places as well.
02:02Now, after Jharkhand, let's talk about West Bengal.
02:05Here, political tensions about the Ram Navami procession are high
02:09because political statements are being made in West Bengal.
02:13Police activities have been cancelled here till 9th April.
02:16Police forces have been stationed in many other areas.
02:19In different areas of West Bengal, such as Kolkata, Murshidabad and Howrah,
02:23RAF soldiers have been stationed.
02:25And they are also being kept on alert through drones and body cameras.
02:29Let's talk about the Ram Navami procession in West Bengal.
02:39Ram Navami procession of Hindu organizations in West Bengal has come to an end.
02:44Just like last time, this time as well,
02:46there will be a grand and divine procession in Howrah.
02:49God's flags will be waved.
02:51Jai Shri Ram's slogans will be chanted.
02:53This time around, the World Hindu Organization has announced a historic Ram Navami in West Bengal.
03:03But, just like last few years, this time as well, the matter of Howrah had reached the High Court.
03:08The reason was the police intervention in the procession of Anjani Putra Sena and the World Hindu Organization.
03:13The police had suggested alternative ways to both the organizations.
03:16They went to the court against this.
03:18And now, the decision has come in favour of the Hindu organizations.
03:24According to the decision of the Calcutta High Court,
03:26the procession of Anjani Putra Sena will start from its designated route,
03:30which will go from Narsingh Mandir to GT Road and end at Howrah Maidan.
03:34For this, he has been given time from 8.30 am to 12.00 pm.
03:39Whereas, the procession of the World Hindu Organization will start from BE College Gate No. 1
03:43and reach Ramkrishnapur Ghat via Mallik Gate.
03:46He has been given time from 3.00 pm to 6.00 pm.
03:50During this time, the peaceful organization of the procession has been instructed.
03:53Also, no one will be allowed to take any weapons.
03:57Only flags and plastic buckets can be taken.
04:00Police vehicles can be seen behind the rally.
04:02Only 500 people can participate in the procession.
04:05They will have to deposit their Aadhar card and PAN card.
04:10The police did not allow the Hindu organizations to participate in the procession from their designated route.
04:15Because last time, they were accused of violating the conditions of the procession.
04:19But now, the High Court has given permission to the Hindu organizations to participate in the procession from their designated route.
04:24The government of West Bengal has become so allergic to Lord Ram that
04:33we have to go to the High Court every two years.
04:37Does the route change to celebrate Muharram, Eid and Bakri?
04:43Then why should the route change for Hindu festivals?
04:47BJP has also been happy with the High Court's decision.
04:49It has been declared as the defeat of the constitution and the Mamata government.
04:53The police is doing illegal work under the guise of Mamata.
04:57That is why the status of the High Court has to be reduced.
05:00In every issue, the High Court has to go to the Supreme Court.
05:03The High Court has given protection to the constitution.
05:08Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP and the Hindu organizations of trying to riot under the guise of Ram Navami.
05:15I will also perform the Annapurna Pooja.
05:19Remember the history.
05:22Those who riot under the guise of missiles with weapons.
05:26Punjabis do not have weapons.
05:30You can also do as per the system.
05:32It is not your job to attack other areas in the name of police restrictions.
05:38The Sangh Parivar has announced a historic Ram Navami.
05:43On the day of Ram Navami, the world Hindu Parishad held more than 2000 rallies, 200 Jhaksas
05:48and decided to celebrate Shri Ram Mahotsav in 5000 places across the state.
05:52BJP claims that on the day of Ram Navami, Hindus got down on the road.
05:57Approximately 1.5 crore Hindus have been warned to get down on the road.
06:02And the controversy is so big that the High Court has also knocked on the door of Ram Navami.
06:11Many directions of the High Court have also been tried to get permission from there.
06:18In West Bengal, there has been a history of violent riots on Ram Navami.
06:21On this occasion, violence has been raging in different areas, for which the leaders of BJP and TMC hold each other responsible.
06:29People from Saraswati Pooja, Mahashivratri, Krishna Janmashtami, Durga Pooja, Ganesh Chaturthi,
06:36there are many such events where there is peace.
06:42But these people only do bad things on Ram Navami.
06:49While BJP accuses Mamata Government of harassing Bengali Hindus for Muslim Vote Bank,
06:54there is a period of protest from Kolkata to Delhi.
07:04This is a picture of Delhi, where BJP President and Central Minister of West Bengal, Sukant Panjumdar, protested against Mamata Government.
07:12In West Bengal, one after another atrocities are being committed against our Hindus.
07:17In West Bengal, one after another attacks are being committed against Hindus.
07:20Temples are being demolished, riots are taking place, and this is being done by Mamata Government.
07:26The question is, is there a theft in West Bengal next year?
07:29That is why there is tension on Ram Navami.
