Parties disturbing communal harmony ahead of 2014 polls: Akhilesh Yadav

In the name of making Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) had organised so-called ‘84 kosi yatra' from August 25 to September 13. The traditional ‘yatra' has already been conducted between April 25 to May 20 and there was no basis for VHP to organise it later, he said. 



“It (84 kosi yatra) was done to take political mileage by disturbing communal harmony of the state,” he charged.
Yadav charged that the proposed ‘panch kosi parikrama' between September 22 to October 13 is also an attempt to disrupt the peace and harmony of the state.

“It is utmost important that all groups in society and political parties realise their responsibility and contribute towards peace process,” the Chief Minister said.

The state has experienced difficulty in maintaining law and order due to objectionable content being transmitted through social media. There is no mechanism to check it, he noted.
