The boy belonged to Amethi originally. The former MLA n Chairman of municipal Corporation of Pauri hails from BJP and may be after seeking advise from senior party leaders, he must have withdrawn the marriage function and cancelled it for the time being reveal sources till the heat settles down.
Kindly recall that there had been lot of marriages between Muslim Boy and Girls but in Uttarakhand the marriage card has been published for the first time inviting his acquaintances to the marriage of his daughter with a boy of minority community. Though constitutionally the marriage is hundred percent viable n legal but the saffron party – that the father of the bride represents, targeted him out mostly with Bhairav Sena, VHP and Bajrang Dal activists burning his effigy publicly and demanding cancellation of the marriage, finally compelling the father to surrender. Taking this decision the father of the bride Yashpal Benam said that in view of maintaining harmony in the society I postpone all the three programmes of marriage with immediate effect.
