(PTI) Vishwa Hindu Parishad vice-president Giriraj Kishore and Bharatiya Janata Party MPs Chinmayanand and Brij Bhushan were among 31 people arrested near Lukhnow while they were proceeding to Ayodhya on Friday morning.
A spokesman at the director general of police's office said that the arrests were "preventive" in nature and in line with the government's policy not to allow large gatherings in Ayodhya.
Kishore and others were arrested when they sat on a dharna on the road after they were stopped from proceeding to Ayodhya, police sources said.
They were taken to a private guesthouse near Chinhat, the sources added.
Kishore had said that the group was embarking on the trip in a "peaceful manner".
"We have only one slogan. We will go to Ayodhya and build a temple there," he said.
Asked if he had permission for this purpose, Kishore said: "We do not need any permission. It is our birthright."
.......................==================
They were not asked, "What are the Muslims doing in Bharat AFTER partition?", and also whether the MOHAMMEDANS allow the Hindus to build any temple anywhere in Saudi Arabia where MOHAMMED was born!
