Uttarkashi Mahapanchayat: Hindutva groups protest alleged illegal mosque
SP transferred after he denied permission for Mahapanchayat
Uttarkashi witnessed a mahapanchayat organised by Hindutva groups on Sunday under heavy police deployment. The event, initially denied permission, was later allowed with strict conditions. The district's Superintendent of Police, Amit Srivastava, was transferred shortly after stating that such a gathering would not be permitted in a public space.
Protesters announced a district-wide agitation against a mosque in the region, claiming it was built illegally.
Key speakers, including Telangana BJP MLA T Raja Singh, called for strong measures to counter alleged "land jihad" and urged the state government to emulate Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's approach. Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) state president Anuj Walia declared plans for further protests, including another mahapanchayat in a month.
The Muslim community in Uttarkashi expressed concerns but vowed to continue their legal battle, maintaining that the mosque was built legally. Earlier investigations had found no evidence of encroachment, but demands for demolition persist.
The event also saw Gangotri MLA Suresh Singh Chauhan advocating a ban on meat and liquor shops in the town to preserve its religious character. Meanwhile, tensions remain high as a High Court hearing on the issue is scheduled for December 5.
