Opposition furious over Sambhaal violence
After the violence in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi held the BJP responsible for the violence. Along with this, Rahul Gandhi also surrounded the UP Police. Post on social media My deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones in violence and shooting. The callous and insensitive action taken by the administration without listening to all parties further worsened the situation and led to the death of many people, for which the BJP government is directly responsible.
Violence broke out on November 24 over the poll held at Shahi Masjid in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh. The violence became so intense that 5 people were killed and more than 30 were injured. The injured also included SDM and police officers. Actually, the Hindu side says about the Shahi Mosque that there was a Harihar temple here. A survey was being carried out in this regard, after which violence occurred.
Rahul Gandhi took aim at the BJP
Addressing the BJP, Rahul Gandhi said that the BJP’s use of power to create divisions and discrimination between Hindu-Muslim societies is not in the interest of the State or the country. I request the Supreme Court to intervene in this matter as soon as possible and deliver justice. My call is to maintain peace and mutual harmony. We all have to come together to ensure that India moves forward on the path of unity and the Constitution, not communalism and hatred.
The state government’s bias and hasty attitude towards the recent controversy in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, is extremely unfortunate. My deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones in violence and shooting.
The action taken by the administration without listening to all parties and with insensitivity has created an atmosphere and

Zia Ur Rehman Burke surrounds UP Police
SP MP Zia ur Rehman Burke said that on the handling of violence, the work was done under a police conspiracy. Murder cases should be filed against police officers when innocent people are killed. When everything was going on peacefully, what need was there to gather a crowd there and raise slogans? I will raise this issue with full force in Parliament.

How violence broke out in Sambhal
Date November 24, 2024 when the survey was conducted at Sambhal Royal Mosque. The Hindu community claims that the mosque was a Harihar temple, following which a survey was carried out at the mosque in the morning. The survey continued smoothly for two hours after which a crowd of people gathered in front of the mosque and then the peaceful atmosphere turned into violence.
After this, the situation became so bad that a huge uproar broke out. The miscreants set vehicles on fire, threw stones at the police and shots were also fired. The police also resorted to lathicharge and lobbed tear gas grenades to control the situation. 5 people died in this violence. For security reasons, internet services have been cut off in the area. Schools have been closed. The police are deployed. In addition, the administration has prohibited the entry of outsiders, social organizations and public representatives to the area until December 1.
