    Good move -- suspension -- State should be neutral on religious matters -- otherwise collapse --like Pakistan --(but state should not be biased - ---whether Hindu or Muslim -- Jain-- Christian -- creates trouble - all need to be hauled up --) -- many are imaginary in terms of injuries to their festivals -- --some decades back these were unheard of -- meaning trouble -- all celebrated each other's festivals -- Ganesha festivals from being initially a family function -- austerity -- prayer -- fasting -- families meeting ---removal of obstacles ----All have become a tamasha -- many WhatsApp messages of Ganesha on scooter etc. -- caricature of Ganesha -- if someone else does it becomes serious offence but not bhaktas --- Ganesha festivals now have become public functions blocking of main roads -/ by lanes--- collecting donations for activities other than religious -- local lords dominating -- All in all, lumpen elements who have no character -- trouble makers -- drunkards have joined the band wagon --along with some political outfits-- --a beautiful festival offering prayers to GANESHA --a symbol of knowledge, wisdom and education. is needlessly getting political overtones--

    The entire country people know who is being this incident. This type of ugly incident happened many times to let down popularity of Government and head of the Government. They think they will try to collapse Govt any form thier Govt. But they don't know thier ability and opinion of people. That's all much more people knows.
