Ram Gopal Yadav spoke in Rajya Sabha on Sambhal
Earlier, Samajwadi Party MP in Rajya Sabha Ram Gopal Yadav said, “Police were deployed in entire Sambhal at 6 am on November 24. The people of Sambhal were not aware as to why the police was being deployed. After some time, DM, SSP, lawyer and some people entered the mosque playing drums along with the police. The mob had suspected that they were going to vandalize the mosque.”
He further said that the SDM opened the water tank and when the water started coming out, the people present there suspected that there was something wrong with it and then unrest spread there. The police fired several rounds in which 5 people died while 20 people were injured. Cases were registered against hundreds of people and many are still in jail. Not only this, those who were caught were beaten badly.
Ram Gopal Yadav said, “I and many others believe that in the by-elections held earlier in Uttar Pradesh, the police of neighboring districts did not allow any voters to cast their votes and forcibly took over the elections. All this was done in a way to divert attention from that matter.”
