Hindu Mahasabha failed to hold any programme in Meerut and Sitapur to lay the foundation stone for a Godse temple on Friday. The organisation even could not observe ‘Shaurya Diwas’ due to the strictness of the police who had enforced section 144 of the CrPC. Irked with the action, Hindu Mahasabha national working president Pandit Baba Nand Kishore Mishra told reporters over telephone from New Delhi that they would move the Allahabad High Court in protest against such high-handedness of the UP government.
Mishra said the leaders could not hold a ‘havan’ in Meerut as announced earlier because party leaders, including Ashok Sharma, were detained at the party office since lateThursday night. “Why is the government not allowing us to make public the views of Godse. What are they afraid of,” he questioned.
Meanwhile in Sitapur too, the rival faction of the Hindu Mahasabha could not organise any function.large contingent of police forces were deployed in Sidhauli in Sitapur along with enforcement of prohibitory orders.Already Hindu Mahasabha rival group president Kamlesh Tiwari has been lodged in the jail by the Sitapur police to prevent the organisation to hold any programme on the day.
