LUCKNOW: Vishva Hindu Parishad chief Alok Kumar on Tuesday rejected opposition criticism of Allahabad High Court judge Shekhar Yadav for attending and speaking at a VHP event in Prayagraj, and asserted such “awareness meets” would continue to be organised.
Justice Yadav spoke on Uniform Civil Code and other issues during a provincial convention of the VHP’s Legal Cell and High Court Unit on Sunday. The videos of him speaking at the event, where he also reportedly said the law should work according to the majority, were circulated widely triggering a strong reaction from opposition parties.
Kumar, who is VHP international president, said on Tuesday he was not present at the Prayagraj meeting, but was certainly aware of the deliberations.
