‘kya jarurat thi masjid girane ki?’: Akhilesh Yadav questions Saharanpur Mosque demolition

"What was the need to demolish the mosque?": Akhilesh Yadav questions the Saharanpur mosque demolition. Addressing the Saharanpur mosque issue, Akhilesh Yadav stated that the police are targeting his party workers instead of apprehending thieves, dacoits, and robbers; he also claimed that a delegation heading to Saharanpur was placed under house arrest. Accusing the government of disrupting social harmony, the SP chief remarked that despite being in power for ten years, the government continues to fuel communal tension and hatred. Referring to the recent demolition of a mosque in Saharanpur, he questioned the urgency of the action—asking what compelling reason necessitated such a move within a mere 12 hours when legal avenues for redressal through the High Court and Supreme Court were available.
