Yadav also said that the event had not been allowed on account of Covid rules but a large crowd showed up. "People who had gathered there had no permission. Necessary action will be taken," he said.
Meanwhile, raising the issue in the Parliament during the on-going Monsoon Session, AIMIM President and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi accused the ruling Modi government of supporting the Hindutva goons.
"After all, what is the secret of the growing courage of these hooligans? They know that the Modi government stands with them”, he said.
