A controversy erupted in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh when Hindu groups objected to the appointment of Noor Alam 'Guddu' Warsi, a Muslim BJP Minority Morcha leader, as coordinator for the sacred Ram Barat procession. Following protests from organizations like Bajrang Dal and Hindu Jagran Manch, festival organizers removed Warsi from the position despite his 25-year history of participation in Ramlila celebrations.
