BJP Youth wing to take out Tiranga Yatra in Aligarh

AGRA:

Bhartiya Janta Party Yuva Morcha

(BJPYM) has announced to take out

Tiranga Yatra

in Aligarh on Saturday.


The decision comes two-day after the AMU issued notices to two students, including the grandson of BJP MLA,

Dalveer Singh

, Ajay Singh, for taking out a similar Yatra in the campus without permission. Incidentally, the BJPYM has also not taken any permission from the local administration and have challenged anyone to try and stop them.

Talking to TOI, district president of BJPYM,

Mukesh Singh Lodhi

said why should they need any permission for a Tiranga yatra in their own country on Republic Day. He said that around 1000 workers will take out a peaceful Tiranga rally from ghantaghar on Saturday. “This will be in the memory of the martyrs who laid down their lives for the country,” he said.

Aligarh MP, Satish Gautam also supported the youth wing's decision and said that there is no need to take any permission. “The day is celebrated every year with great pride on and anyone can take out a Tiranga yatra,” he said.

However, Aligarh SP (City) Ashutosh Dwivedi said that permission is required for any kind of procession. He said, strict action will be taken against those who try to disturb the law and order situation.

Last year on January 26, a procession was organised at Kasganj with the permission of district administration during which violence had erupted and one person lost his life. The violence broke out when members of a right-wing organisation had an altercation with members of another community while taking out a “Tiranga Yatra”.
