The Uttar Pradesh government and the Vishwa Hindu Parsihad (VHP) are at loggerheads over the proposed 84 Kosi Parikrama in Ayodhya which is scheduled to begin on August 26.
The VHP is in no mood to shelve its plans for the programme though the government gave its in principle go-ahead earlier.
VHP president Ashok Singhal warned the state government of "adverse consequences" if it used force to enforce the ban.
Singhal also attacked SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav for trying to communalise the yatra by denying permission to them.
"We were shocked when we came to know of the government's decision. The leader representing Muslims in his party had showed his displeasure over the meeting and Yadav apparently succumbed under pressure," Singhal said in an apparent reference to Azam Khan, who is the urban development minister in the UP government.
General elections are due next year in the country with the BJP's PM-hopeful Narendra Modi eager to contest from Uttar Pradesh. Some SP leaders have slammed the VHP for playing to Modi's tunes by polarising the state along communal lines in the runup to poll year. Naresh Agarwal of the SP said why were the VHP and its seers holding the yatra a year before the polls and not in previous years.
Whereas, the UP government is also firm on its stand of not allowing the yatra. The UP govt on Wednesday increased security and sealed boundaries in six districts adjoining Ayodhya.
