Hindu Raksha Dal to offer Ganga water at Darul Uloom
A group called Hindu Raksha Dal wants to visit a famous Islamic school called Darul Uloom.
The school is in a town called Deoband in India.
The group believes there is a hidden Hindu temple underneath the school's grounds.
They plan to bring holy water from the Ganga river and offer it at the school.
The visit is planned for August 11.
Group leaders Pinky Chaudhary and Lalit Sharma are organising the trip.
Earlier, the group asked local officials to investigate whether a temple is really there, but the officials did not do anything.
Police officers say they will not let anyone cause trouble.
Anyone who tries to disturb the peace can face legal action.
Many people are watching this situation closely because it involves people with different beliefs.
Hindu Raksha Dal announced that its members will visit Darul Uloom in Deoband on August 11 to offer Ganga water.
The outfit claims a Shivling exists beneath the Islamic seminary's premises and that a Shiv temple exists on the Darul Uloom premises.
Uttarakhand state president Lalit Sharma made the announcement in a video message released on Saturday; national president Pinky Chaudhary will lead office-bearers carrying Ganga water from Haridwar.
Sharma said the organisation had earlier approached the Saharanpur administration seeking an enquiry into the temple claim, but no action was taken.
Deoband Circle Officer Amit Kumar Singh said nobody would be permitted to disrupt law and order and that legal action will be taken against anyone attempting to disturb the atmosphere.
