A fortnight ago, the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha claimed it would lead a march to Mathura on December 6, where the Lord Krishna idol will be installed at the mosque after elaborate rituals.
The Uttar Pradesh police say they have banned large gatherings in Mathura ahead of Ayodhya's Babri Masjid demolition anniversary on December 6, with a right-wing group threatening to install an idol of Lord Krisha inside the Shahi Idgah, a prominent local mosque. The police said they will take strict action against anyone who attempts to disrupt communal harmony.

Reports say multiple social media messages are being circulated, asking people to gather in Mathura in big numbers on the day.
"Some persons and organisations have used social media to call people for a "padyatra". We have taken this into cognizance and will not permit any such yatra or programme now or in the future," Gaurav Grover, Mathura's police chief, said in a video statement.
