Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi were prevented from entering Uttar Pradesh on their way to Sambhal, a region currently under prohibitory orders due to heightened communal tensions. The Gandhis aimed to meet families affected by the recent violence that erupted during a court-mandated mosque survey in Sambhal. The clashes, which involved stone-pelting and arson, claimed multiple lives and injured several, including police personnel.
Local authorities cited law and order concerns, deploying heavy security to block their entry at the state border. Despite their insistence on addressing the grievances of affected citizens, they were redirected, aligning with the administration’s stance on maintaining peace.
This move has sparked a debate about the state’s handling of political leaders during sensitive situations. Stay updated with more developments on Citizen News Daily!
