Saints issue ultimatum ahead of Akhilesh’s Ayodhya visit; vow to block his entry into the city’s traditional sacred boundaries

The community of saints has taken a firm stand regarding the scheduled visit of Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav to Ayodhya. A major decision was reached during a collective meeting of the saints in the city: they have declared that Akhilesh Yadav will not be permitted to enter the traditional sacred boundaries of Ayodhya. The saints demand that, before arriving in Ayodhya, Akhilesh Yadav must bathe in the Saryu River and offer an apology to the families of the *kar sevaks*. Only then will any consideration be given to his further itinerary.
