West Bengal govt rejects BJP's application for holding rallies, cites 'apprehension of breach of peace, communal violence' as reason

The West Bengal government on Saturday rejected the BJP's application for holding "Rath Yatra and/or Ganatantra Bachao yatra" in the state saying there was a "grave apprehension of major breach of peace and communal violence during and in the aftermath" of the programme. In an official communication to the BJP that was made public by the Trinamool Congress party, the government quoted intelligence reports to claim that the "yatras" would be turned into "communal propaganda with the likely participation of "organisations with overtly communal agenda" like the "RSS, VHP and the Bajrang Dal". Intelligence reports indicate the public perception is that the religious overtones of the yatras will be turned into communal propaganda," said the letter signed by three top government officials and addressed to West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh. "Intelligence reports also indicate that in several districts, organisations with overtly communal agenda, such as the RSS, Bajrang Dal and VHP would actively join the yatra," it stated, adding, "there is grave apprehension of major breach of peace and communal violence during and in the aftermath of the yatra."
