UP: Two Muslim labourers allegedly stopped from working at Hathras temple
Hathras (UP), Apr 24 (PTI): In the wake of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, activists of a group on Thursday allegedly stopped two Muslim labourers from working at a local temple here.
The labourers were employed at the Shri Balkeshwar Mahadev temple, located in Hathras' Sethji Ka Tabela area, for construction work.
Association of Democratic Human Rights secretary Praveen Varshney and a few other individuals reportedly confronted the two labourers and instructed them to cease working at the temple.
These individuals further declared a decision to no longer employ Muslims at their properties.
"Anger over the terror attack is spreading across India. The nation is demanding decisive government action against terrorism. Hindu labourers will complete the remaining work at the temple," Varshney said.
The work at the temple was affected following the intervention.
The station house officer of a local police station, Girish Chandra Gautam, said that he was unaware of the incident when asked about the matter.

Reduced to 69/5 in 11 overs, Delhi found some late impetus through Tristan Stubbs (38; 31 balls) and Sameer Rizvi (40 not out; 24 balls), who stitched together a crucial 65-run (off 47 balls) stand to give the innings a respectable total.
Brief Scores:
Delhi Capitals: 155 for 7 in 20 overs (Tristan Stubbs 38, Sameer Rizvi 40 not out; Noor Ahmed 2/22)
