The protest against a temporary gate put up by Muslims during Moharram month continued at the Kunda tehsil in Pratapgarh on Thursday, with Uday Pratap Singh, father of Kunda MLA Raja Bhaiyya, refusing to end the stir until his demand was met.
Condition of Uday Pratap, 89, who belongs to the Bhadri estate of Pratapgarh, deteriorated on Wednesday night as the octogenarian refused food and medicines too. A team from Kunda’s community health centre was rushed for a medical examination, in which Uday Pratap’s blood pressure readings were lower than normal, officials said.
