The Mahapanchayat was organized by the Purola Pradhan Sangathan and was supported from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, the Bajrang Dal among others. District Magistrate of Uttarkashi Abhishek Rohilla said, “The permission for the proposed maha panchayat to be held on June 15 has been denied. No one will be given permission to break the law.”
OpIndia went to the Purola town in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, to investigate the facts in order to dispel the 'Muslim under attack' narrative being peddled by the leftist media in the wake of the May 26 incident which involved the attempted abduction of a minor Hindu girl by accused Uved Khan
Whitewashing the grave incident of Hindu minor abduction, Mohammed Asif Khan who usually spreads hate against the Hindu community from his Twitter handle claimed on May 30 that after the incident, around 42 Muslim shopkeepers were forced to leave the city. He also claimed that the Muslim boy had eloped with a Hindu girl when in fact the minor girl was kidnapped by a Muslim.
