Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government put in place a massive security build-up across the state to foil a Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) bid to stage a religious event in Ayodhya Sunday. The Hindu group's leaders announced a national stir against the crackdown.
While hundreds of VHP activists and seers were arrested from different parts of the state for trying to carry out the "84 kosi parikrama yatra", VHP's top leaders were detained in Lucknow and Ayodhya.
Home department officials told IANS the situation was peaceful across the state.
Almost 1,700 people were detained for breaching prohibitory orders, the officials said.
Senior VHP leader Ashok Singhal, who was arrested soon after he landed at the Amausi airport here and was packed off to Nawabganj bird sanctuary guest house in neighbouring Unnao district, slammed the Akhilesh Yadav government for the crackdown.
Noting he had come to be part of a peaceful ritual of saints but was prevented to go to Ayodhya, the 87-year-old leader also warned the state government not to play with the sentiments of Hindus.
