Muslim social worker started Janmashtami celebration in Kolkata's Mominpore 58 yrs ago but now the muslim organisers have been removed and Hindus have taken over the committee

This year, a well-known Kolkata Janmashtami celebration is undergoing a noteworthy organizational change. The event, which has historically embraced multicultural involvement, will now be exclusively managed by Hindu members. This decision comes in light of comments made by a local BJP representative regarding religious festivities. The Muslim community has been a vital part of this celebration for many years, marking its significance in the 58th iteration.
