A video is doing rounds on social media claiming that it shows the Ram Navami procession in the Khargone district of Madhya Pradesh.
The post read: खरगोन जहाँ पिछले साल बरसे थे पत्थर , इस बार फूल बरसाए गए ..इनकी सबसे अधिक इसी बात से फटती है कि कोई उनसे अधिक बड़ी भीड़ कैसे जुटा ले रहा है। इसीलिए, हर हिन्दू त्योहार पर शोभायात्रा को एक अभिन्न अंग बना लीजिए। एक-दो बार पत्थरबाजी होगी, पर अगली बार से सब की समझ जाएगी कि दंगाई कौन है। इससे दो हित सधते हैं: आतंकी चुप होंगे, हिन्दुओं में आत्मविश्वास आएगा कि वो अकेले नहीं हैं।
(English Translation: Khargon where stones were pelted last year, this time flowers were showered .. Most of them are scared of someone gathering a bigger crowd than them. That is why, make Shobha Yatra is an integral part of every Hindu festival. There will be stone pelting once or twice, but next time everyone will understand who the rioter is. This gives two interests: Terrorists will be silent, and Hindus will be confident that they are not alone.)
Here’s the link to the above post.
