The Dharam Sansad, which was earlier scheduled for January 22 in Aligarh, will now be held in the first week of April, an organiser said on Monday.

Puja Shakun Pandey, who is the national general secretary of the All-India Hindu Mahasabha, said the decision was taken at a meeting.

"The Dharma Sansad, which was earlier scheduled to be held in Aligarh on January 22, will now be organised in the first week of April. It was postponed due to the COVID pandemic and the state elections," she said.

Pandey also expressed hope that two Hindu leaders who were held for hate speeches at a Dharma Sansad in Haridwar will be released soon.

Pandey said, "We have full confidence in the legal system and the Constitution, and are sure that they will secure bail."

Police had arrested Yati Narsinghanand, the organiser of the Haridwar Dharma Sansad and Jitendra Narayan Tyagi, who was formerly known as Waseem Rizvi and changed his name after converting to Hinduism. -- PTI
