'Shobha yatra' will be taken out in Mewat on August 28, no need to obtain administration's permission: VHP
Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Saturday said a «shobha yatra» would be taken out in the area on August 28 and asserted there was no need to obtain permission from the administration for such religious events. The organisation, however, said it would inform the administration about the procession and was open to discussion on its form and size as «we do not want to cast a shadow on a G20 event», scheduled in Nuh in the first week of September.
The Haryana government on Saturday ordered the suspension of mobile Internet and bulk SMS services in Nuh district till August 28 in view of the call for the procession.
Six people, including two home guards and a cleric, were killed in the communal clashes that erupted in Nuh and its adjoining areas when the VHP procession was attacked by a mob on July 31.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, VHP joint general secretary Surendra Jain said the yatra would be taken out by the Sarva Hindu Samaj of Mewat, not the VHP.
«Sarva Hindu Samaj has decided to take out and complete the yatra… We also do not want to cast a shadow on G20 event in any way.
