Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will attend the Vishwa Hindu Parishad\u2019s (VHP) seers\u2019 meet at Magh Mela grounds here on Friday. This will be the first major public event of the VHP to be attended by Adityanath after he took charge as the chief minister.<\/p>\n
Adityanath will be accompanied by his deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya and other VHP leaders from the state to the Sant-Sammelan Dharm Sabha. Organisers said that issues ranging from cow vigilantism to social equality, among others, will be discussed at the meet.<\/p>\n
Pravin Togadia, VHP\u2019s International Working President, who was reported \u201cmissing\u201d and later found \u201cunconscious\u201d at a park in Ahmedabad on Monday, will not attend the event. After the incident, Togadia had alleged that a plot was hatched to get him killed in a fake encounter by Rajasthan Police \u201cunder political pressure\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogadiaji will not be coming. Only VHP leaders from Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring areas are attending the sammelan,\u201d said Sharad Sharma, VHP Uttar Pradesh media-in-charge.<\/p>\n
On sending an invitation to Adityanath, Sharma said, \u201cWe are inviting Yogiji for being one of the leading saints of the country. This has nothing to do with him belonging to a political party. He is the CM of the state and also the head priest of the Gorakhnath temple.\u201d<\/p>\n
Issues to be discussed at the meet include cow vigilantism, Ram temple and unifying of \u201call Indians irrespective of their caste or religion\u201d, besides those that concern seers and saints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
