Sadhvi Prachi not allowed to enter Dadri village

The fireband Vishva Hindu Parishad leader Sadhvi Prachi was on Wednesday denied entry into Dadri’s Bishada village in view of prohibitory orders imposed by the administration following the lynching of a man over rumours of alleged beef consumption.

Prachi alleged “conspiracy” behind the administration’s move and asked why the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi’s entry was not curbed in a similar manner.

“I wanted to meet the families of Jay Prakash and Rahul Yadav but I was denied entry. I had requested the sub-divisional magistrate in this respect. If Owaisi, who comes from Hyderabad can meet, why was I not allowed entry? This is a conspiracy,” Prachi said.

A resident of Bishada, Jay Prakash, 24, was found dead under mysterious circumstances on Tuesday while Yadav suffered an alleged bullet injury during protests against the administration in the aftermath of lynching of Mohammed Ikhlaq.

Talking to mediapersons, Prachi also targetted Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan over his letter to the United Nations seeking its intervention to look into the “miseries” of the minorities in India.

“His letter to the UN has tarnished India’s image,” she said.

Prachi also demanded compensation of Rs 50 lakh each for the families of Yadav and Prakash. “Prakash was tortured to the extent that he committed suicide,” she alleged.

She termed Khan a “traitor” and sought his trial in a court of law and alleged that the police had denied her entry at the former’s behest.

“He is a traitor. He should be tried in a court. Those who are going to the UN to tarnish India’s image should be tried,” she added.

Prachi asserted that she will “once again” try to meet the families of Prakash and Yadav.

Earlier, the police also denied entry to members of the ‘Hindu Yuva Vahini’, a youth group founded by Bharatiya Janata Party Member of Parliament Yogi Adityanath.
