New Delhi: The Mayawati government on Sunday refused permission to the Congress to take out 'Nyaya' march in Lucknow on Monday against the alleged spurt in crimes in UP, citing possibility of breach of peace. But the city administration has flatly refused permission for the rally. Prohibitory orders have been issued in Lucknow.

The Opposition has also accused the Mayawati government of shielding the accused in the case. Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said, "The BSP government is trying to protect criminals in the state. It's clear now that Sachan was not involved in the murders of Dr Arya and Dr BP Singh. Congress will fight this battle for justice in court, in the assembly and on the streets."

District Magistrate Anil Kumar Sagar said that permission has not been given for the Congress march as police apprehended breach of peace and inconvenience to residents due traffic disruptions. He said prohibitory orders under Section 144 IPC are already in force in the state capital.

UP Congress President Rita Bahuguna Joshi reacted strongly and said, "We were not expecting this decision from the BSP government as this was a peaceful march. Ridiculous how this government functions. This is a fascist style of functioning."

The Congress had announced to take out the march from Bal Sanghralaya in Lucknow on Monday morning. Senior party leaders including MLAs and MPs were likely to participate in the march to be led by Joshi.
