Elaborating further on the issue, Swami Anand Swaroop, said, "Last year also, our organisation disrupted the Christmas celebrations in Haridwar. Since 1915, we didn't allow celebrations of non-Hindu festivals like Christmas or Eid. So, if hotel owners allow Christmas-related gatherings or get-togethers on their premises then their hotels' windowpanes won't be safe. He threatened Hindus, who embraced Christianity, that if they want to celebrate Christmas then they should go to Church somewhere else which is not in Haridwar."
