Religion was asked by scanning QR code on Kavad route: Hindu organisations active in Meerut, Kavadias say, now the risk of being desecrated is less

Politics has started heating up over the kanwar yatra in UP. UP CM Yogi Adityanath and Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami have implemented strict rules. There are three types of orders in this regard - firstly - the owners of dhabas and restaurants on the Kavad route will have to write their identity on the board. Secondly, licenses and identity cards will have to be displayed at the shops. Thirdly, meat will not be sold in the open on the Kavad yatra route. After this, vishwa hindu parishad officials started visiting restaurants, shops and dhabas on the Meerut to Muzaffarnagar Kavad route and asking for name and religion. They are also pasting pictures of Varaha (avatar of Vishnu) on these shops. They are putting up saffron flags, scanning QR codes to check if a person from another religion is running a shop called Hindu. Officials are also visiting shops on the highway in Meerut. Are they investigating the name of the board and who is running it? Is the true identity being disclosed or not? Is non-vegetarian food being served? Vhp officials are also taking note of this in their records after being fully satisfied. Read the report... Let's talk about Kavadia first... "The Bhaskar app team reached national highway-58 to understand the situation. We met the kanwariyas who were going to Delhi with water from Haridwar. We spoke to them about the order of nameplates on shops. "We left for Haridwar on June 16," says Kavadia Kamal from Delhi. Preparations are underway to offer Gangajal in Delhi's Shivalaya. We asked, what precautions do you take about food? Kamal says, "Wherever we live, we first see who the people are. What are they cooking? Are they Hindus or Muslims? If garlic or onions are being added to the food, we deny it. Kavadia said, "By installing nameplates, problems are now being reduced. We asked, is the nameplate's command correct? Kamal said- Yes, absolutely... The Yogi government's order is absolutely correct. There should be boards on the shops. We have found nameplates and flags at restaurants in many places. We asked, was there a problem earlier? "We didn't know who these people were, so we had to talk to them separately. "We only stay at Hindu dhabas," says Aman, who is on his way to fetch water with Kamal. Now he has plates in his name, so we don't have to face much trouble. Earlier, even if we stopped to drink water, we used to talk first. Otherwise, there is always a fear of being unclean. Dad, who runs a tea stall, said, "Now the kalashwala kavadiyas are going on. Now we reached a shop running a tea shop on National Highway-58. Here we found a woman named Pappi. He said that the name of our shop is Bhole Tea Stall so that there is no difficulty in identifying the crows. The crows carrying the kalash have started coming. The dak crows haven't come yet. Now no one asks for a name or address, all read the nameplate. That's all. Now talking about this, the VHP officer of the designated arrangement officials running from shop to shop said, "This effort is necessary to ensure that the crow does not become unholy. Anuj, an activist of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, says that putting up nameplates on shops is not like an order, it is necessary for the honor of Hindus. Muslims are doing love-jihad, voter-jihad, land-jihad, food-jihad. We are moving from one shop to another to warn them. If they do not correct themselves they will be reformed with the help of law and administration. You should understand that in the month of Shravan, bhola (kavadiya) walks engrossed in masti. Now someone desecrates their devotion and kavadiya. Now that their identity is revealed, whatever shop they stay at will know that it is the shop of their Hindu brothers and they will not be given anything wrong to eat. There is no problem that Muslims can run shops in their own name. If you are giving food, give good food. There are many Muslim brothers, they also serve the Kavadiyas. Kapil says sanatani, who walks 200 km, should get only pure food Kapil, the district-president of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, says, "A sanatani walks 100 to 200 km, so he should know whose shop it is, where he is staying for food. Think that this is a religious journey, how bad it is if its sentiments are hurt, that is why we are making efforts so that the crows coming on this path do not face any more trouble. Along with the name change, we are now putting up pictures of Hindu deities on the shops. There will be no over-rating on the route, says Yogi government The Yogi government has given oral guidelines to officials to reveal the identity of the owner and manager of dhabas and restaurants. Meat should not be sold openly on the route of kavadyatra. The food and snacks sold should not be overrated. Here the Dhami government of Uttarakhand has issued an order that a surveillance drive will be carried out on the Kavad route. Shops without names and licenses will remain closed. Those who do not follow the rules will face legal action and a fine of up to Rs 2 lakh will be imposed. Also understand the politics that started over the nameplate controversy on the Kavad route... Masood said that politics has also heated up in UP over the order issued by the Yogi government on nameplates by comparing ST Hasan with pahalgam terrorists. Congress MP Imran Masood said, "These people (BJP) want to destroy the shared culture and shared heritage. At the same time, former SP MP from Moradabad, Dr. "The administration has the right to investigate, but does any citizen have the right to take off his pants and investigate? Didn't the terrorists take off their pants in Pahalgam? They fired bullets, these people are spreading panic. Meerut police system, know 20 lakh in Pura Mahadev, 4 lakh kanwariyas will visit Baba Oghadnath According to Dig, Meerut Zone, Kalanidhi Naithani, there are 540 km long Kanwar route in Meerut, Bulandshahr, Baghpat and Hapur.

The work of installing nameplates on dhabas and restaurants on the Kavad route started in 2024. Come... Let us tell you what happened in this matter... July 18, 2024: Order to install nameplates On July 18, 2024, an order was issued by the Chief Minister's Office. It said that it will be mandatory to put up nameplates on all shops selling food items on the route of Kavadyatra in UP. Every shopkeeper will have to provide his name, address and mobile number. The government had claimed that the decision would uphold the sanctity of faith. July 22, 2024: Supreme Court stays Some of the petitioners had approached the Supreme Court to challenge the government's order. On July 22, the court had granted an interim stay on the UP government's order. The court said shopkeepers can display only the type of food served in their restaurants. The apex court issued notices to the governments of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh and asked why it was necessary to disclose the personal information of shopkeepers. The court expressed serious concern by linking it to the right to privacy. September 24, 2024: Order imposed despite stay Two months after the interim stay of the Supreme Court, Chief Minister Yogi issued another order on September 24, 2024. This time it was made mandatory to display the names and addresses of the owners, managers and employees at all eateries across the state. The order said there will be zero tolerance on incidents of adulteration of food items. CCTVs have to be installed. It was made mandatory for cooks and waiters to wear masks and gloves. With this, a police verification drive of all the employees was started.
