Mumbai, October 6 (IANS). The Kurla police of Mumbai issued a notice against senior BJP leader and former MP Kyrit Somaiya regarding the ‘I Love Mahadev’ campaign. Police, who refuse Somaiya to join the campaign, warned that it could aggravate the law and order. Kyrit Somaiya said two police officers in Mumbai reached his office in Mulund at 19:30 and gave him notice. The notice says that they should not participate on the “I Love Mahadev” campaign on LBS road in Kurla on Tuesday night. Police made it clear that no consent was given in the Kurla police station for this campaign. In the notice, police called on Somaiya not to take any steps that disrupted law and order or spread social disorder. It reads: “If you or your supporters come to the street without permission or do such comments or work that create social disorder, you will be personally responsible for it. In such a situation, proper legal action will be taken against you and your supporters under the legislation. This notice will be used as evidence against you.” Despite this police notice, Kyrit Somaiya is determined to join the campaign. He said: “I was prevented from participating in the ‘I Love Mahadev’ campaign held tomorrow at 18:00 near New India Azad Restaurant at LBS Road in Kurla, but I will definitely go there.” Somaiya described this campaign as a symbol of religious and social unity, saying that he would peacefully join his supporters. The purpose behind the ‘I Love Mahadev’ campaign is said to express reverence for Lord Shiva and promote social harmony. At the same time, police suspect this event could become a challenge for law and order. The local administration called on the organizers not to hold a meeting without permission. This development has raised the political stir in Mumbai. BJP supporters call it an attack on religious freedom, while opposition parties call it a matter of law and order. Police have made additional security arrangements in the area so that any unpleasant situation can be avoided. -Ians Aks/PSK shares this story -tags
