UTTARKASHI: A day after right-wing Hindu outfits held a Mahapanchayat here to protest against an alleged “illegally-built” mosque, prohibitory orders around the structure remained in force, even as the opposition Congress accused the BJP of raising “meaningless issues” through the event.
The meeting organised by Devbhoomi Vichar Manch was addressed by controversial BJP MLA from Goshamahal in Telangana T Raja Singh who urged Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to take a leaf out of his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath’s book and “teach a lesson” to those indulging in ‘land jihad’ in the state.
The developments come amid simmering tensions over temple-mosque disputes in several states.
