He said he was held back at Ghaziabad station for three hours before being told that he was being prevented from going to Ambedkar Nagar,where a Hindu leader was murdered over the weekend.

I have received your notice of your being forcibly deboarded by the UP Police from Vaishali Express8230;. I am calling for a factual note from the government, the Speaker said.
