NDTV
There is heavy security in Mathura - 400 km west of Lucknow - where a right-wing group called Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha threatened to install a Krishna idol at the Shahi Idgah
A top priest in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya has told NDTV that focus on Mathura - the birthplace of Lord Krishna - coinciding with the December 6 anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid is part of the ruling BJP's politics ahead of the Assembly election due in two months. अयोध्या काशी भव्य मंदिर निर्माण जारी हैमथुरा की तैयारी है #जय_श्रीराम#जय_शिव_शम्भू#जय_श्री_राधे_कृष्ण
There is heavy security in Mathura - 400 km west of Lucknow - where a right-wing group called Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha threatened to install a Krishna idol at the Shahi Idgah today. The mosque is next to the Krishna Janmabhoomi and petitions in local courts claim it as part of the Janmabhoomi.
The group called off its plans after police warned of strict action.
When asked about the brewing confrontation in Mathura, Satyendra Das, the chief priest of the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya - where the under-construction Ram Temple is expected to be finished before the 2024 election - said he was uninterested.
