New Delhi, March 9 -- Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath seconded a circle officer's remark on Holi and Jumma namaz, and said one must accept the truth. He said that Holi is on March 14, Friday.

"If anyone wants to read the Friday prayers, they can do so at their home. It's not necessary for them to go to mosque," Yogi Adityanath said.

"And even if they want to go to the mosque, then they must not avoid colours. The police official was telling them the same," Adityanath added.

He defended the officer's statement saying that he is a "pehelwaan" and many could find his statement unpleasing.

Adityanath said this while speaking at Indian Today Conclave while responding to a question on Sambhal CO Anuj Chaudhary's remarks.
