A fruit distribution program organised by Samajwadi Party MLA Sayyed Khatoon outside the Mahakali temple in Uttar Pradesh’s Domariyaganj town was disrupted by a Hindutva group reportedly led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Luvkush Ojha.
The event, which took place on Friday, October 10, was held amid ongoing festivals intended as a gesture of brotherhood to showcase “Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb”, a term used to describe the syncretic fusion of Hindu and Muslim traditions in northern India.
However, tensions escalated when the far-right groups accused the organizers of attempting to “corrupt their religion”. They claimed “beef-chicken eaters” were involved in the distribution.
Viral video of the incident that has surfaced online, shows a group wearing saffron scarves engaging in a heated argument with fruit distributors at a stall during the event.
