Jaipur: Protests against the recent murder of a Hindu tailor in Rajasthan's Udaipur continue in various parts of the state. Several religious organisations are expected to congregate at the Statue Circle in Jaipur at 10 am today to undertake a massive agitation against the killing. Closures are also likely to be seen in Dholpur and other cities of the western state.

The Vishva Hindu Parishad had earlier announced a demonstration in Jaipur on Sunday. Over the past few days, Hindu outfits like the VHP and Bajrang Dal have been holding protests in various parts of the country against Kanhaiya Lal's death. It is pertinent to note that the the Rajasthan government had on Tuesday announced the imposition of Section 144 of CrPC in all the districts for the next one month.

Several cities (both in Rajasthan and elsewhere) have seen shutdowns and curfews in recent days. While mobile internet services remain suspended, the Udaipur district administration has given a relaxation in curfew for 10 hours today - from 8 am to 6 pm.

The Gurugram police had on Friday registered an FIR against the members of the two outfits who had organised a rally protesting against the Udaipur killing on June 29. Right wing organisations had also called a statewide bandh in Chhattisgarh on Saturday, prompting many shops and commercial establishments to remain shut in major cities.

The right-wing activists carrying saffron flags marched on foot and rode motorcycles at many places, including Raipur, Durg, Bilaspur, Mahasamund, Kanker, Dhamtari, Bemetara, Raigarh and Korba, shouting slogans for capital punishment to the accused in the Udaipur killing. The opposition BJP leaders were also seen on roads with VHP and Bajrang Dal activists appealing to people to keep their establishments shut.

Meanwhile, a panchayat 'Against Jihadi Mindset' has been called at Bhishm Das Ashram in Manesar on Sunday at 10 am. Police sources said that villagers of surrounding villages including the members of Hindu outfits are likely to participate in the panchayat.

As per local intelligence reports, there is a possibility of ruckus by the participants.

"We have a sufficient number of cops which will be deployed under the supervision of ACP rank officers. Yes, we beefed up security as precautionary. The situation is under control," Manesar DCP Manbir Singh assured in conversation with news agency PTI.
