Uttarakhand: Muslim mahapanchayat canceled after meeting CM Dhami, CM assures action

Section 144 was invoked to stop the proposed ‘Mahapanchayat’ on Thursday in Purola in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand regarding the alleged incidents of ‘Love Jihad’. After the announcement of the Hindu Mahapanchayat, the announcement of the Muslim Mahapanchayat was also made. But if sources are to be believed, now the Muslim Mahapanchayat to be held on June 18 has been cancelled.

The proposed Muslim mahapanchayat in Dehradun on June 18 has been canceled after Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami’s assurance of action. Dehradun SSP Dilip Singh Kunwar said that after talks held at several levels and on the assurance of the Chief Minister’s action, there was an agreement in principle between the parties, after which the proposed mahapanchayat has been cancelled. In fact, Section 144 has been imposed in Purola for six days from June 14.
