10 including Swami Prasad Maurya sued for burning copies of Shri Ramcharit Manas, five arrested

Lucknow: The controversy over the controversial comment on Ramcharit Manas has gone a step further as copies of the holy book were burnt as a protest during the OBC Mahasabha in Lucknow on Sunday. 10 people, including Swami Prasad Maurya, have been named in this matter, as well as a case has been registered against some unknown people. Five people have also been arrested in this case. Let us inform that the All India OBC Mahasabha has come out in support of Swami Prasad Maurya. As a protest, a protest was held by burning the copies of the disputed part of Ramcharitmanas.

Earlier on Sunday, when Maurya came in front of the media, he said in open words that I stand by my statement. He said that if all tribals, Dalits, backward, and women stop coming to the temple on my call, then the offering will stop, their pet worship will stop. Here he also made it clear that this is his personal statement but Akhilesh Yadav has cleared the stand of the party by breaking his silence on this subject.

Talking to reporters in Mainpuri on Sunday, Akhilesh Yadav said that no one is against Ramcharit Manas and no one is against Lord Ram. I appeal to CM Yogi to recite that chaupai once. He said that since Yogi Adityanath has come from a religious place, I ask him this question. He said that when I went to the temple yesterday, RSS-BJP goons came, had we known that BJP is going to send goons, we would have come with our workers. He said that when socialists show the black flag, they are sent to jail for one year.
