A video of people performing Garba at a mall is being circulated on social media with a claim that it is from Lulu mall in Lucknow.
Facebook users are sharing the video with a caption: “लखनऊ. लूलू मॉल में नवरात्रि के अवसर पर डांस हो रहा, भीड़ भी इकठ्ठा है, कुछ दिन पहले जब नमाज़ पढ़ी गयी थी तब न तो भीड़ इकट्ठा हुई थी न किसी को डिस्टर्ब किया गया था, फिर भी हिंदू संगठनों ने बवाल किया और नमाज को बैन कर दिया गया.” (English translation: Lucknow. People are dancing on the occasion of Navratri in Lulu mall, the crowd is also gathered. A few days back, when Namaz was performed, there was no crowd and no one was disturbed. Yet Hindu organisations created chaos and Namaz was banned.)
