GUWAHATI: A tense situation unfolded in the Shankar Nagar near the Lalganesh area, today, April 28, as people gathered in protest following the defacement of a poster depicting Ram. Miscreants had coloured the figure black, sparking outrage in the area, and devotees quick to show their anger by protesting.
While speaking to GPlus, Aryan Baruah, a member of the Vishwa Hindu Mahasangh, expressed deep dismay over the incident, stating, "It is very disheartening to see our Lord Ram covered in black paint. We will make sure that appropriate actions are initiated. Painting Ram black means painting us black."
