Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has sharply criticized the Uttar Pradesh government over its handling of the recent violence in Sambhal, calling it a demonstration of a "biased attitude." In a statement, Gandhi expressed concern over the government's lack of action to address the rising tensions and violence in the region.
He accused the state administration of showing preferential treatment to certain groups while failing to take strong, impartial action against those responsible for the unrest. Gandhi labeled the state's approach as "unfortunate," adding that the people of Sambhal deserve fair and equal treatment under the law.
The violence in Sambhal, which erupted during a mosque survey, has raised alarms about communal tensions in the state. The incident resulted in clashes between various groups, leading to multiple casualties and widespread panic. Gandhi’s comments come as the opposition intensifies its criticism of the state government, accusing it of stoking communal discord for political gain.
The issue has sparked a political battle, with opposition leaders calling for an impartial investigation into the events. Meanwhile, the Uttar Pradesh government maintains that it is committed to restoring peace and order in the region, but critics argue that its actions have not matched its rhetoric.
