Vrindavan, 2016.11.03 (VT): The controversy on organizing an atheist convention in Vrindavan, is not coming to an end soon. The religious leaders of Vrindavan are up in arms against the organizers of the event. They have been constantly demanding the arrest of Balendu and his brothers Purnendu and Yashendu.
The proposed two – day convention on atheism, which was scheduled to commence on 13th October, was forced to be canceled, as a big number of religious leaders and Vrindavan residents created ruckus outside of the ashram of Balendu, the Chief organizer of the event.
A meeting was held in Ram Mandir at Atalla Chungi, on Thursday, in a protest against Balendu and his brothers. The meeting was attended by a big number of Vrindavan residents, religious leaders and right wing activists. The meeting unanimously resolved to intensify the protest till the organizers are arrested. It also called for social boycott of the organizers.
A six point memorandum was also prepared addressing the District Magistrate and was handed over to the City Magistrate, Shri Ram Araj Yadav, who was also invited in the meeting.
