Supreme Court Stay Demotivates Hindu Community, Claims VHP

The Supreme Court's interim stay on directives for eateries on the kanwar yatra route to display owners' names has demotivated the Hindu community, the VHP stated. The VHP expressed hope that the basic human rights of kanwar yatris will be protected in future hearings.

The Supreme Court's interim stay on the directive for eateries on the kanwar yatra route to display their owners' names has ''demotivated'' the Hindu community, the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) claimed on Tuesday.

The right-wing organisation hopes that the ''basic human rights'' of pilgrims will be ''duly understood and protected'' in the next hearing of the matter by the apex court.

The VHP's reaction follows the Supreme Court's decision on Monday to impose an interim stay on controversial directives from Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand authorities, requiring eateries on the kanwar yatra route to display their owners' names and other details.
