Hathras (Uttar Pradesh), July 17: Activists of religious group Hindu Yuva Vahini (HYV) have registered their opposition to offering 'namaaz' on the streets by reciting Hanuman Chalisa on the road in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras.

According to reports, a group of HYV activists sat outside a Hanuman temple in Sikandra Rao area and recited the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ repeatedly for over an hour on Tuesday evening.

The HYV men said that they would continue to hold recitation of ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ every Tuesday till the Muslims stopped offering 'namaaz' on the roads.

Ravindra Kumar Singh, a HYV activist, said that by offering 'namaaz' on the roads on Fridays, Muslims were causing inconvenience to the people since roads remained blocked.

"If they stop this practice, we will also stop otherwise we will make sure that 'Hanuman Chalisa' is recited outside each Hanuman temple on Tuesdays," he said.

The police was silent on the issue. A senior police official said, "There is no complaint and no trouble so our role does not figure in the matter."

Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.

According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.

Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.

Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).

Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.

Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.

Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
