Offer Prayers At Temples”: ML Khattar After No Permission For Nuh Rally

Chandigarh: 

After the Haryana government denied permission for a yatra called by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in Nuh, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday said people can visit nearby temples and offer prayers as it is the month of ‘Sawan’.

Authorities have banned large gatherings in the district citing law and order concerns by local police as well as intelligence agencies.

“Looking at the kind of incident that happened there (Nuh) at the beginning of the month, it is the government’s duty to ensure that law and order in the area is maintained. Our police and administration have taken this decision that instead of carrying out a yatra, people should go to nearby temples and offer prayers. Permission for yatra is denied but people can go and offer prayers in nearby temples as it is Sawan month,” Mr Khattar told reporters today.
