Mr Singh said an advisory has been issued to all the states so that there is no law and order issue.
In many countries and in some of the big Indian cities too, shops and malls are already decorated with Christmas trees, stars and, of course, Santa Claus with his white flowing beard.
New Delhi: Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said an advisory has been issued to all states to ensure law and order during Christmas in the wake of fringe elements recently threatening some Christian community members against celebrating the festival.
A fringe group in Aligarh had on December 17 issued a circular and threatened the management of all city schools against celebrating Christmas saying, if they did so, it would be “at their own risk”. When asked about it, Mr Singh said an advisory has been issued to all the states so that there is no law and order issue. He also conveyed his greetings to the nation on Christmas.
