Apart from this, the Samajwadi Party chief has also targeted the Uttar Pradesh government in his post. He said that
There was neither, nor is there, any expectation from the Uttar Pradesh administration. He said that without any delay, cognizance of this entire matter should be taken and strict action should be taken against those who spoil the atmosphere.
Jamiat-Ulema-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani has also raised questions on the Sambhal violence. He has described the violence as the result of the government’s discriminatory policy. He expressed grief over the death of three Muslim youths in police firing during the violence. He has held the state government and UP administration responsible for this incident. Madani says that Jamiat-Ulema-Hind does not support violence of any party, but this action of the police is not only unjust but also discriminatory, due to which innocent people have died.
Jamiat-Ulema-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani raised questions
In a letter issued by Jamiat-Ulema-Hind, Madani said that the Constitution of the country gives every citizen the right to equality, respect and security. In such a situation, if a government considers the life and property of any community as inferior, then it is a violation of the Constitution and law. Along with this, Madani warned that efforts to find temples in mosques are dangerous for the peace and harmony of the country. The current incident has proved this.
He said that the people of Sambhal had cooperated with the survey team on the first day in the survey of the mosque, but today when the team was going, some people present with them raised inflammatory slogans, which led to violence. Madani questioned why the police allowed such people to go to the mosque and instigate.
