BJP leaders clash with police in UP's Moradabad

#BJP leaders clash with police in UP's Moradabad
Moradabad, July 4 (IBNS): Tension escalated in Uttar Pradesh's Moradabad as a large group of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers clashed with the police on Friday after they were stopped from holding a 'Mahapanchayat' or large gathering in Kanth town.
BJP legislator Sangeet Som, who was accused in the Muzaffarnagar riots last year, was detained by the police on his way to Kanth along with several party workers.
 
They were later released, reports said.
 
According to reports, some 1,000 BJP workers also tried to block a train. When the police tried to disperse them using rubber bullets and tear gas, they retaliated with stones.
 
This comes after the UP administration had denied permission to the BJP to hold a Mahapanchayat fearing that it could create communal tension in the area. 
 
The BJP had decided to hold a Mahapanchayat after the UP administration restricted the use of loud speakers at a religious structure in Kanth town, which led to some trouble in the area last month.
 
The BJP called the Mahapanchayat  to protest against the move.
 
The district magistrate of Moradabad was seriously injured in the violence.
