Mathura: Aarti should be done in the mosque, right-wing outfit warns of nationwide protest if not allowed
Navneet Singh Chahal, District Magistrate has said that 'No one will be allowed to disrupt peace in the city as strict action will be taken against those who try to disrupt the harmony'
New Delhi: Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) has once again sparked controversy around Mathura Krishna Janmabhoomi as they have announced that they will perform “Aarti” of Lord Krishna at the Shahi Idgah on December 10 for 10 minutes. ABHM has also warned of a nationwide protest over it if any administration tried to stop them.
However, earlier on December 6, ABHM announced to perform aarti in the mosque after which security forces in huge numbers were deployed across the city to avoid any untoward incident.
In a letter to the district magistrate, Rajyashree Chaudhuri national president of Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha said, “The administration did not allow Balagopal Ji to enter his place of birth on December 6 citing communal harmony (would be disturbed). Now, we request the administration to allow us to perform aarti on World Human Rights Day (December 10) for 10 minutes at the real birthplace of Lord Krishna.”
As per TOI, Gaurav Grover, Senior superintendent of police has claimed that police have not received any application in this regard.
“We have neither allowed such programs earlier nor will give such permission in future,” Gaurav Grover, Senior superintendent of police said.
