HARIDWAR:

Swami Narsinghanand said he will stage a sit-in protest outside the Supreme Court on December 21 to voice his discontent over not being allowed to hold the Dharma Sansad.

"Dharma Sansad was to be held on the premises of Shri Panchdashnam Juna Akhada, Maya Devi shrine in Haridwar with an objective to dwell on the sufferings of the Hindu community in Bangladesh. We also wanted to pay tribute to the departed souls. We are aggrieved that we are not being allowed to raise our voice for fellow Hindus," said Swami Narsinghanand, spiritual head of Dasna temple, Ghaziabad.
