The Hindu  

The police in Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand, are working to ensure law and order is maintained in the area that is witnessing communal tension after an alleged abduction bid of a minor girl. However, Devbhoomi Raksha Abhiyan, a right-wing group has allegedly pasted posters across the district asking Muslims, the minority in the area, to leave town. However, he said, “I am meeting people across town and urging them not to give their houses and shops on rent to people from the Muslim community. The Devbhoomi Raksha Abhiyan is the same group that had held a State-wide protest against the wedding of Pauri Garhwal’s BJP leader Yashpal Rawat’s daughter to a Muslim man last month, leading to the cancellation of the celebration.
