BJP Accused of Igniting Anti-Muslim Violence, Polarizing Communities in India’s Uttar Pradesh
Pawan Khera made the remark after at least three Muslims were killed during a survey of a Mughal era mosque in Sambhal.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Khera in a statement said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the BJP-RSS orchestrated the unrest to polarize communities, undermining the state’s harmony. “Western Uttar Pradesh, a symbol of goodwill, has been turned into a battleground under the BJP’s divisive politics,” he said.
He criticized the government’s handling of the situation, questioning police inaction against provocative elements and accusing the administration of fueling communal discord. “The slogan ‘Ek Hai To Safe Hai’ (if we remain united, we will be safe) stands exposed as a sham amid BJP’s systematic targeting of minorities,” Khera added.
Calling the violence part of a larger conspiracy, he urged the people of Sambhal to reject hatred and embrace unity.
