New Delhi: Weeks after the communal violence broke out in Haryana's Nuh that killed six people, a ‘mahapanchayat’ by Hindu outfits was called in Haryana’s Pondri village on Sunday to take a call on resuming Vishwa Hindu Parishad's Braj Mandal Yatra in Nuh that was disrupted on July 31. At the mahapanchayat, participants from Palwal, Gurugram, and other nearby places are taking part, news agency PTI reported.

Initially, the ‘Sarva Jatiye Mahapanchayat’ was planned to be held in Nuh district’s Kira village but permission was denied for it in view of the prevailing law and order situation.

Permission for the event has been given in Palwal, Deputy Superintendent of Police (headquarters), Palwal, Sandeep Mor said on Sunday.

Speaking to ANI, Lokender Singh, Palwal Superintendent of Police, said, "Permission has been granted on several conditions. Hate speech is prohibited. Our team will keep an eye on each and every person and action will be taken against people for any wrong action."

According to police, a gathering of around 500 people has been allowed for the mahapanchayat, and strict action will be taken if anyone makes any kind of hate speech.

The meeting will be held under the banner of ‘Sarv Hindu Samaj’, in which Hindu outfits including the Vishva Hindu Parishad, will take part.

Earlier on July 31, six people, including two home guards and a cleric, died in the communal clashes that erupted in Nuh when a VHP procession was attacked by a mob.

Meanwhile, shortly before the mahapanchayat began, VHP leader from Gurugram Devender Singh claimed that the yatra will resume on August 28 in Nuh after the earlier one came under attack.
