Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala and Union Minister of State Rao Inderjit Singh have both raised concerns about lapses on the part of the organisers of the yatra or religious procession in Nuh, which sparked off communal violence in Haryana, leaving six dead. The yatra was organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
Mr. Chautala said that the organisers had not given a proper estimate of their expected turnout, noting that this lapse had contributed to the violence. Mr. Rao, who is also the Lok Sabha MP for Gurugram, which includes Nuh, pointed out that the yatris had also carried weapons, and sought a probe into why both communities had been armed.
