LUCKNOW: Even as BJP MP from Gorakhpur Yogi Adityanath was detained in Kanpur while he was on his way to Jhansi to take part in 'Jalabhishek' of a disputed temple, the UP government has decided to ban Vishwa Hindu Parishad's (VHP) proposed 84-Kosi yatra following a feedback that it may whip up communal sentiments in view of the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Yogi was on his way for the Maha Jalabhishek ceremony of a Mahakalashwar temple in Jhansi where section 144 has been imposed. The local Jhansi administration has apprehended chances of violence during the BJP MP's visit, because of which he was prevented from proceeding further as a precautionary measure. The Jalabhishek ceremony will continue till August 20. BJP leaders have condemned the arrest.

Yogi was travelling in Kushnagar Express from Gorakhpur to Jhansi when he was detained in Kanpur by the police. Police and administration officials were stationed at the Kanpur Central station since midnight and the moment Kushinagar express reached there around 2.20am, he was deboarded from the train. Later, he along with his supporters, were taken by the officials to a guest house of Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary in Unnao district from where he left for Delhi.

On the other hand, the UP government has decided to ban VHP's proposed yatra to be taken out with an aim to garner support for the construction of Ram temple at a disputed site in Ayodhya. SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has already clarified that no new 'practice' related to the construction of Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya will be allowed. He has also turned down VHP's offer to mediate between Hindu and Muslim leaders for construction of the temple.

Home department officials said that the decision to put a ban on the yatra has been taken after taking feedback from the five districts covered by the event. Intelligence inputs suggested that it may create law and order problem and whip up communal sentiments. The 84-kosi-yatra, proposed between August 25 and September 13, will pass through the five districts of Faizabad, Ambedkarnagar, Gonda, Basti and Bahraich and cover nearly 400 kilometres.

Principal secretary home RM Srivastava said that according to the Hindu ritual, the 84-kosi parikrama is held from Chaitra Purnima to Baisakh Navami and has already been performed by the sadhus.

VHP leaders, however, said they need no permission or clearance to perform this yatra. It said that thousands of people will take part in the yatra

Meanwhile, SP leader and senior minister Azam Khan has criticized his party president Mulayam Singh Yadav and chief minister Akhilesh Yadav for giving 'unnecessary importance' to VHP leaders. In a statement, he said that VHP leader Ashok Singhal is an accused in Babri mosque demolition case, hence government should not give him any importance.

Significantly, VHP's yatra is coinciding with the proposed visit of Gujarat chief minister and BJP's campaign committee chairperson Narendra Modi to Mathura to attend party's state level executive meet in September. Mathura is also a communally sensitive place.
