More than 200 people, including activists from the extremist Hindu organizations Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad, took part in the panchayat, which was held on behalf of the Hindu Samaj. On this occasion, the panchayat has given an ultimatum to the local administration to form committees at the regional level to incite Hindus to boycott Muslim shopkeepers and traders.
The panchayat was also attended by Hindus from other areas besides Manesar, who presented a memorandum to the magistrate based on their demands.
On the other hand, a letter issued by a panchayat in a village in Gujarat's Banas Kanta district has gone viral, urging Muslims not to buy goods. According to the letter, if a person buys goods from Muslims, he will have to pay a fine of Rs 5,100. The letter also has the signature and seal of the sarpanch.
