COPS SAY RALLY WAS TAKEN OUT PEACEFULLY UNDER THEIR SUPERVISION
By Vartha Bharati
Lucknow: In an incident that occurred in Koshambi, Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday, local VHP and Bajrang Dal activists caused uproar on Ram Navami by halting their rally in front of a mosque and blaring loud music.
The disturbance unfolded near Muratganj in Kaushambi, as depicted in a widely circulated video on various social media platforms.
One Twitter user shared the video and tagged the local police in the post, prompting the official handle of the Kaushambi Police to assert that the rally proceeded “peacefully” under police supervision, refuting any allegations against the rally.
However, the video clearly shows the rally halted outside a mosque, with loud music blaring from speakers, causing disruption in the vicinity. The deliberate stoppage of the rally outside the mosque raised concerns about religious insensitivity once again across social media platforms, with several users condemning the act while others found it a non-issue.
