The National Democratic Alliance on Friday deferred to Tuesday a planned visit by its MPs to Vellore and Kanchi on Saturday to study the alleged 'danger to the life of Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati and human rights violations' by the state government at the Kanchi mutt.

"Instead of tomorrow (Saturday), the delegation would now be leaving on Tuesday as nobody is allowed to meet jail inmates on Saturday and Sunday," Bharatiya Janata Party Parliamentary Party spokesman V K Malhotra told reporters in Delhi.

S S Ahluwalia, Balbir Punj, Rasa Singh Rawat and Jayaben Thakkar would represent the BJP in the delegation while the other allies are yet to submit the names of their MPs.
