Days back, Banerjee announced that immersion of Durga puja idols wouldn’t be allowed on October 1 — when Muslims in the state would observe Muharram. The ban was vehemently opposed by Hindu right wing organisations, who called it “yet another example of minority appeasement” by her government. Acting on a petition questioning the government decision, the Calcutta High Court revoked the state’s directive and allowed the immersion to take place till midnight on all days after Dussehra, including Muharram.
