The Samana Manaskara Vedike, a progressive organisation, has urged the Mandya district administration to deny permission for Hindu Jagrana Vedike’s Sankeertana Yatra scheduled to be held in Srirangapatna from December 24 as it posed a threat to peace and communal harmony.
The Samana Manaskara Vedike representatives, who met Deputy Commissioner of Mandya Kumar and Superintendent of Mandya district police N. Yathish, have pointed out that the Hanuma Male and Sankeertana Yatre programme 2023 organised by Hindu Jagrana Vedike was aimed at “reconstruction of Anjaneyaswamy Temple occupied by Tipu Sultan”.
An attempt had been made to barge into the Jamia Mosque while houses of members of the minority community were targeted during a previous programme organised by the pro-Hindutva organization, the Vedike recalled.
