Bareilly: All India Muslim Jamat National President Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvvi has asserted that India can never transform into a nation resembling Nepal, Bangladesh, or Sri Lanka. He has demanded a thorough government investigation into individuals entering India from foreign soils to participate in domestic protests and demonstrations. Maulana Razvi made these remarks on Friday in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, reiterating that external elements coming into the country to stage agitation must face scrutiny from authorities.
Praise for Uttar Pradesh Law and Order
Evaluating the security landscape within Uttar Pradesh, Maulana Razvi lauded the administration led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. He maintained that the state's security apparatus has remained firm and stringent throughout the tenure of the current government. Razvi pointed out that aside from the specific incidents reported in Bahraich and Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh has largely avoided major violent disturbances under the present leadership. Simultaneously, he criticized the previous governance under former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and the Samajwadi Party, asserting that law and order conditions were poor during their time in office.
Context Behind the Jantar Mantar Appeal
Maulana Razvi's latest statements build upon his prior public advisory issued ahead of a planned demonstration at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. He had previously urged Muslim youths to steer clear of the demonstration scheduled for October 10 by Cockroach Janta Party. That proposed agitation centered on demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The event organizers had alleged irregularities within the Special Intensive Revision or SIR of electoral rolls, using those claims as grounds to demand the exit of the chief election commissioner.
Democratic Rights and Caution Against Violence
Elaborating on his earlier stance, Maulana Razvi acknowledged that staging protests is a legitimate legal and democratic right for citizens. However, he cautioned that if such assemblies turn violent, ordinary people are forced to bear the resulting hardships. He specifically advised Muslim youth residing and working across Delhi and the adjoining regions of Uttar Pradesh to abstain from participating in the proposed gathering. Razvi emphasized that unrest during protests only multiplies public troubles. Meanwhile, Neha Bora had remarked regarding events in Bangladesh that they provided a path for Gen-Z, and Prashant Bhushan made remarks concerning regime change which sparked considerable political discourse.
