BJP MP Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment, plans to organise a rally on June 5, which coincides with the birthday of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The rally aims to gather support in favour of Singh and counter the allegations made against him.
Singh, the president of Wrestling Federation of India, was booked in two FIRs by the Delhi Police after he was accused of sexual harassment by several woman wrestlers, many of whom, along with several of their peers, are observing a sit-in at Jantar Mantar in the national capital since April 23.

According to a message being circulated widely on social media, saints, mahants, politicians, social organisation and law experts have been invited from all over the country to participate in the Jan Chetna Maharally in Ayodhya.
