Regards, Marshall NAVI MUMBAI: A carol performance in Navi Mumbai had to be shifted to another venue after a right-wing organisation allegedly forced the original host, a school in Taloja, to cancel the programme. The even was finally held at St Augustine School in Nerul, Sector 11. The state minorities' commission vice-chairman Abraham Mathai said initially, the Taloja school had offered its grounds to a group for their Christmas celebrations. "However, when Panvel-based Sanatan Sanstha learnt about it, the members forced the school management as well as the police to prohibit us from celebrating our festival there,'' Mathai added. Navi Mumbai commissioner of police Ramrao Wagh told TOI, "Neither did we cancel the programme nor did we ask the group not to perform at the Taloja school. The institue took the decision to do so after a Hindu group objected to something called, `magic healing', that was supposed to be held there.'' However, Sanatan Sanstha spokesperson Abhay Vartak said they objected to the programme on legal grounds. "We are not against Christmas but we oppose certain occult practices that were to take place at the Taloja ground. We objected as we found out that `jaadu-tona vashikaran (countering black magic)' was to be performed there. This is against our Constitution's Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act of 1954,'' Vartak said. But Mathai and Catholic Secular Forum general-secretary Joseph Dias denied the allegations. "These extremist groups bear a lot of hatred against other communities. This is dangerous for our secular nation,'' Mathai said. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Mumbai/Hindu_group_objects_to_Christmas_event/articleshow/3892516.cms
