Demand To Demolish Dargah
The right-wing group is led by Mahendra Pratap Singh who has described himself as a student leader at Allahabad University and former state president of Karni Sena. He has also mentioned in his Facebook profile that he is a leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Uploading the video in a Facebook post, Singh claimed that Salar Masood Ghazi was an invader and that his dargah should not be there in the pilgrim city of Prayagraj. He also demanded that his shrine be demolished immediately.
Deputy Commissioner of Police DCP (Ganga Nagar) Kuldeep Singh Gunawat said some miscreants waved saffron flags and raised slogans at the shrine, reported PTI.
He said departmental action is being taken against the policemen who were responsible for maintaining order on the spot.
The DCP said that there are five shrines at the Ghazi Miyan Ki Dargah where Hindus and Muslim devotees come to offer 'chadar'. He further said that legal action will be taken after probing the matter.
