Earlier in the day, the Telangana High Court accorded permission to Sanjay Kumar to take up the fifth phase of his 'Praja Sangrama Yatra' and a public meeting in Bhainsa town of Nirmal district, with certain conditions including that the padayatra should be held outside the town.

The Telangana BJP approached the High Court against the police denying permission to state BJP chief for the 'padayatra' and public meeting scheduled in Bhainsa on Monday citing the "communally sensitive situation" there.

After hearing the petition that sought clearance for the padayatra and the meeting, the High Court gave conditional permission to the foot march and the meeting.

Kumar had launched the first phase of 'padayatra' last year from the Bhagya Lakshmi temple at Charminar here.
