Permission Granted for Avimukteshwaranand's Event in Lucknow, Subject to 26 Conditions

The Lucknow district administration has granted permission for Swami Avimukteshwaranand's proposed 'Dharma Yudh' event with 26 conditions to ensure law and order.

The Lucknow district administration has approved the proposed event 'Gau Pratishtharth Dharma Yudh' organized by Swami Avimukteshwaranand, but with strict adherence to 26 specified conditions. The recent order issued by the administration emphasizes that inflammatory speeches against any religion, caste, or language will not be tolerated during the event. Additionally, it prohibits obstructing public pathways and conducting processions without proper authorization.

Among the 26 conditions, one notable requirement is that speakers must refrain from using derogatory or unparliamentary language against religious or political figures. Participants, especially minors, are not allowed to chant controversial slogans that could incite disputes. The administration has laid down clear guidelines to combat communal or caste-based comments, indicating a proactive approach to maintain peace and order during the event.

Furthermore, the responsibility to ensure peace during the event is placed on the organizers, who will also bear the costs of police deployment. The administration has warned that any disorder during the event will lead to legal action against the organizers. This decision reflects the government's commitment to managing public events in a way that upholds communal harmony while respecting the rights to assembly and expression, all under close scrutiny to prevent any potential unrest.
