Hyderabad, June 12 AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has demanded a ban on Mahapanchayat proposed to be held by right-wing groups in Uttarakhand on June 15.
The Hyderabad MP said in a tweet on Monday that the Mahapanchayat to be held on June 15 should be banned immediately. "Security should be provided to the people living there. Arrangements should be made to bring back the people who have migrated from there," he said.
Owaisi reminded the BJP government it is their job to send the culprits to jail and restore peace.
Right-wing groups plan to hold Mahapanchayat in Uttarkashi's Purola on June 15 amid continued communal tension in the area.
Posters threatening Muslim traders to shut shops and leave the state by June 15 have also come up in Purola market. Due to the tension and threats, Muslims have shut their shops and some families have migrated from the district.
According to reports, trouble started on May 26 after two men, a Muslim and a Hindu, allegedly tried to abduct a 14-year-old girl. Some people alleged that it was a case of 'Love Jihad'. Though the accused were arrested, some right-wing groups staged protests and attacked shops and houses of several Muslims.
