Speaking to the media, Yadav said “I want to congratulate you for the Constitution Day. True celebration is only when you follow the path of the Constitution. How can celebrations be held in the shadow of grief? Celebrating at a time when the kind of work the government has done in Sambhal when it has taken lives and justice is not being served.. False cases are being filed against the MP there, the MLA and his son.
The market in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal opened after violence following the stone pelting incident which took place when a team arrived to survey Shahi Jama Masjid on November 24.
Deputy Inspector General of Police Moradabad Range, Muniraj G said that the situation is normal in Sambhal today.
“The situation is normal in Sambhal today. The markets are operational and functionally normally. People should not worry; those innocent will not be penalised. Till now, 7 FIRs have been filed. We are identifying people based on video footage,” DIG Muniraj said.
Opposition members have been keen to raise the issue in the House and have targeted the Yogi Adityanath government over the violence.
The survey was part of a legal process following a petition filed by senior advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, who claimed the mosque was originally a temple. (ANI)
