AGRA: Members of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) who had threatened to enter Taj Mahal premises and chant Hanuman Chalisa in a bid to counter protest of Karnataka hijab row, were detained by police ahead of their planned event on Tuesday.
Vice president of VHP Braj region, Ashish Arya, who led the group, said that they had planned to enter Taj Mahal and recite Hanuman chalisa after wearing “saffron scarves” to counter the Hijab row. “Every educational institute has its own dress code but some anti-social elements are trying to vitiate the atmosphere by holding a protest for hijab,” he said, adding that if this would be allowed then people from other religions may also wear their religious symbols.
