Kotdwar’s gym owner Deepak Kumar, who has become famous as ‘Mohammed’ Deepak, and his friend Vijay Rawat are thinking of taking a big step against the increasing hatred in the country. They are planning to launch a nationwide march named ‘Unite Humanity March’. The purpose of this yatra is to spread the message of unity, love and humanity among the people.
An incident took place in Pauri Garhwal district of Kotdwar on Republic Day in January. There some people started harassing a 70 year old Muslim shopkeeper. The name of his shop was ‘Baba School Dress and Matching Centre’. Some Bajrang Dal workers objected to the name of his shop. He said that the word ‘Baba’ should be used only for the local deity Baba Siddhabali (associated with Hanuman ji). He demanded the shopkeeper to change the name of his shop.
