Mahapanchayat being held by Hindu Samaj group in Gurugram on Sunday. August 6
Gurugram: A ‘mahapanchayat’ by Hindu outfits will be held in Haryana’s Pondri village on Sunday which will take a call on resuming VHP’s Braj Mandal Yatra in Nuh that was disrupted on July 31 after communal violence broke out in the area, officials said.
The ‘Sarva Jatiye Mahapanchayat’ was originally planned to be held in Nuh district’s Kira village but permission was denied for it in view of the prevailing law and order situation.
Permission for the event has been given in Palwal, Deputy Superintendent of Police (headquarters), Palwal, Sandeep Mor said on Sunday.
Palwal and Nuh are adjoining districts.
The mahapanchayat will be held under the banner of ‘Sarv Hindu Samaj’, in which Hindu outfits including the Vishva Hindu Parishad, will take part.
Police said a gathering of around 500 people has been allowed for the mahapanchayat and strict action will be taken if anyone makes any kind of hate speech.
Six people, including two home guards and a cleric, died in the communal clashes that erupted in Nuh when a VHP procession was attacked by a mob.
Meanwhile, VHP leader from Gurugram Devender Singh claimed that the yatra will resume on August 28 in Nuh after the earlier one came under attack.
