A mahapanchayat by Hindus at Pondri village in Haryana’s Palwal on Sunday demanded an NIA probe into the recent violence in Nuh against Hindus by Muslims. The mahapanchayat also demanded to declare Nuh a cow slaughter-free region.
Furthermore, the mapanchayat decided to resume the Braj Mandal Yatra on August 28 in Nuh, which was disrupted after Muslims attacked the yatra on July 31.
While addressing the event, some Hindu leaders demanded that Hindus in Nuh, a Muslim-dominated district, be given relaxation in securing arms licenses for self-defence.
At the gathering, Haryana Gau Rakshak Dal’s Acharya Azad Shastri told the youth “not to be afraid of FIRs”. “We should immediately ensure getting licenses for 100 rifles in Mewat,” he said.
Hindus from Palwal, Gurugram, and other nearby places took part in the ‘Sarva Jatiye Mahapanchayat’ held on Sunday.
The mahapanchayat was held under the banner of ‘Sarv Hindu Samaj’, in which several Hindu outfits, including the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal, took part. It was presided over by Arun Jaildar, a Khap leader.
The mahapanchayat was originally planned to be held in Nuh district’s Kira village, but the administration refused to grant permission for it.
