02:11Now we are going to appeal it.
02:15This is the right thing.
02:19We can say it.
02:23But what will we eat and what will we not eat?
02:25No one will do it.
02:29So a fresh political drought over food and faith has erupted in West Bengal
02:33just weeks ahead of Durga Puja.
02:35A comment by Bhageshwar Dharm chief Dherendra Shastri
02:38has sparked a political controversy in the state.
02:40Speaking during his three-day Hanumanth Katha in Haura's Lillua,
02:45Dherendra Shastri appealed to people that they should keep non-vegetarian food away from Durga Puja pandals.
02:51His remarks have come days after the VHP issued an advisory asking Durga Puja organizers
02:56to keep non-veget food away from the Puja premises.
02:59Bhageshwar Baba's comments have now taken the debate a step further.
03:03West Bengal BJP President Shamik Bhattacharya has pushed back,
03:06saying states' traditional food habits cannot be dictated by a religious preacher.
03:11West Bengal Chief Minister Shivendu Adhikari, on the other hand,
03:14has announced a set of new directions for this year's Durga Puja.
03:17The new directions include no liquor sales on Mahashtami,
03:21no DJ music during immersion processions,
03:23and no Durga Puja carnival, a tradition held during Mamata Banerjee's tenure.
03:28The Chief Minister has announced that committees will also get a 1 lakh rupee grant,
03:32along with free electricity.
03:36I don't know much about Baba Bagisir.
03:41He is a father of Madhya Pradesh.
03:46The people of BJP have been very committed to him.
03:51But the people who have spoken about Puja,
03:56are difficult to think about Puja.
03:58The people who have spoken about Puja,
04:01that Baba Bagisir came to him and gave him a new statement,
04:06this is not the right thing.
04:08If you are a Bagisir Baba or a non-bhaj,
04:12I will not make any comments.
04:16I will just say that this is the Durga Puja,
04:20it is being a mistake.
04:22In today's year, we have to learn from the struggle.
04:25We have to learn from what we need to do or what we need to do.
04:31This is not possible.
04:33The whole Bengal is sitting there.
04:36The government and the people who are worried about it,
04:39what are they saying?
04:41They will decide on the public.
04:44I have seen in the Durga Puja,
04:45that in the Durga Puja,
04:48the beautiful Puja,
04:49the eva.
04:50giving the people who give Devah a place,
04:53that he would make waste,
04:54that he would have had a certain number.
04:58This one would be the one-tele for me.
05:01In that case,
05:02the one would come from there.
05:02Where there will be a single word,
05:02We have seen this.
05:03We have seen that it will become the north of Man such,
05:04that even this one would love from the Burga Puja.
05:28So let's take a look at West Bengal Chief Minister Shavendu Adhikari's new order for Durga Puja.
05:34What all changes has he ordered?
05:36So there will be no liquor sale on Maha Ashtami.
05:39So liquor shops will remain closed on Maha Ashtami.
05:42That's the new directive from the West Bengal government.
05:46Chief Minister Shavendu Adhikari has announced that the liquor shops are going to be closed on Maha Ashtami.
05:53No liquor sales on Maha Ashtami.
05:54No carnival on Kolkata's Red Road.
05:57So the usual Durga Puja carnival on Red Road will not be held from this year.
06:01No DJ music during immersion processions.
06:03So loud DJ music will be banned during Durga Idol immersion processions.
06:08Religious sentiments must not be compromised.
06:11So Chief Minister Shavendu Adhikari said that Puja celebrations should respect the religious tradition and sentiments.
06:18In fact, 1 lakh rupees grant for Durga Puja committees has also been announced.
06:22So each eligible Puja committee will receive a 1 lakh rupees financial grant.
