The proposed Jalabhishek Yatra by Hindu outfits in Nuh on Monday was curtailed by the administration, which only allowed Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s (VHP) international executive president Alok Kumar along with a dozen Sarv Hindu Samaj representatives, a few saints, and some workers of local Hindu outfits, to offer prayers and holy water at the three temples. They were taken around in four mini-buses escorted by the police teams.
The event remained incident-free but the police took 41 people into preventive custody across four districts in Haryana.
Mr. Kumar, after offering holy waters at Nalhar’s Shiv temple, the starting point of the religious procession, said it could be done with the united strength of the Hindus and the group would visit all the three temples to assure the entire Hindu society along with those in Mewat that no one had the power to disrespect them.
