The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has called for agitation across Delhi to protest the violence in Haryana’s Nuh and Gurugram. The protest locations include Karol Bagh, Mukherjee Nagar, Narela, Moti Nagar, Patel Nagar, Nangloi, Ambedkar Nagar, Lajpat Nagar, Mayur Vihar, Tilak Nagar, Najafgarh, among others.
The violence occurred during a religious procession in Nuh, 50 km from Delhi, triggered by an objectionable viral video. A mob attacked the procession, leading the participants to seek shelter in a temple. In Gurugram’s sector 70, several shops and shanties were set on fire on Tuesday night, resulting in authorities imposing prohibitory orders across the district, including a ban on the sale of loose petrol or diesel.
