8 members of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal surrendered after they were accused of hurting religious sentiments leading to the Nagpur violence
The FIR has been registered under Sections 3 and 5(1) of Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021 against Nagendra Singh, Ramesh Kumar, Imarti and Radha.
The police suspect that Singh might have fled to Punjab. A team has been dispatched to locate him. Given Shravasti's proximity to the Nepal border, authorities are monitoring the area to prevent any possible cross-border escape.
The Guild is now claiming that the application submitted by the VHP for the stall is 'not in form' and was therefore rejected. It also alleged that the Hindu rights organisation did not 'qualify the conditions' required for participating in the event.
After a video went viral showing a person desecrating a Tulsi plant near Guruvayur temple in Kerala, some members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad performed purification puja of the Tulsi plant
Around 500 persons participated in the event organized by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad which declared that there would be another maha panchayat in the coming times. "This is just the beginning of our struggle. We will uproot these forces from Uttarakhand," VHP's Anuj Walia said calling for district-wide protests.
Director of Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, Professor Satyam Kumari assured that the matter would be resolved soon and attributed the situation to a possible misunderstanding.
Pastor Amos had called a group of Indians for Christian conversion in Nepal. Hindu organisations including VHP and Bajrang Dal Nepal got information and stopped the programme.
VHP and other Hindu organisations have embarked on another unique campaign. Since all devotees cannot be accommodated in Ayodhya, the Temple Trust is sending symbolic 'Nimantran' or invitations to all Ram Bhakts, with the auspicious traditional 'Akshat', a pamphlet and a photo of the Ram Mandir.
