<!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> A delegation of Punjabi and Hindu Biradari (PHB) met Soren Monday and requested him to accept the invitation to burn the effigy of Ravana at Morabadi ground on Vijay Dashmi.
"Soren declined to accept the invitation terming Ravana as Kulguru," said Chandra Mohan Kapoor, PHB chairman.
He said quoting Soren: "How can one burn the effigy of Kulguru who is worshipped?"
Since the creation of the state in November 2000, there was a tradition in Jharkhand that the chief minister sets the Ravana effigy on fire.
The Dusshera festival will start early next month.
