The BJP will felicitate 63 party workers who were jailed after the July 4 street violence in Moradabad, in which the then district magistrate was badly injured. BJP supporters had clashed with police after a mahapanchayat called to protest the removal of a loudspeaker from a temple in the town’s Kanth area was disallowed.
The BJP workers were released on bail on September 26. The party’s Amroha unit will felicitate them on October 5, for supposedly having spent three months in jail fighting for the rights of Dalit Hindus.
