VHP International Working President Pravin Togadia has been banned for a week from entering Udupi district of Karnataka for the 'Hindu Samjotsava' rally to be held on March 9.

The Udupi district administration and the police have imposed the ban to prevent any provocative speech by the VHP leader which might disrupt communal harmony and create law and order problems, Deputy Commissioner, Udapi district Vishal R said.

Condemning the ban, VHP district president Suprasad Shetty said it is aimed at hurting Hindu sentiments.

"The government's move is aimed at hurting the sentiments of the Hindus," he said. Shetty said the state government's "anti-Hindu" policies had been exposed.
