Rahul Gandhi denied permission to visit Saharanpur

New Delhi, May 26
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has been denied permission to visit Saharanpur, where a caste conflict had erupted in which many Dalits were allegedly targeted.
The confirmation of this development has been given by Additional Director General of Police Law and Order Aditya Mishra to ANI.
Gandhi was supposed to visit Saharanpur to take stock of the prevailing situation.
Clashes occurred on Tuesday after Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati’s visit to Saharanpur, where one person was killed and several others were injured.
The state government also announced to give a compensation of Rs 15 lakh to the family of the person killed in the incident.
In the wake of clashes between two communities in Saharanpur, the Yogi Adityanath Government on Thursday transferred 174 Sub-Divisional Magistrates.
Earlier, Saharanpur District Magistrate Nagendra Parsad Singh was sacked after he was unable to control the clashes.
