Court Cancels Mamata Banerjee's Order On Durga Idol Immersion: 10 Points ndtv.com

Durga idols can be immersed in West Bengal on all days including Muharram, the High Court said today, overruling the Mamata Banerjee government, which had ordered restrictions on the annual tradition to avoid any overlap with Muharram processions. "You are exercising extreme power without any basis…Just because you are the state, can you pass arbitrary order?" the Calcutta High Court said on the recent order banning idol immersions after 10 pm on September 30 – when Durga Puja ends – and on October 1, when Muslims will mark Muharram. Yesterday, the court had said: "Let them (Hindus and Muslims) live in harmony, do not create a line between them."
