BJP’s Divisive Politics in Uttar Pradesh: A Tragic Assault on Harmony

The Congress leader, Pawan Khera, denounced the BJP’s “Ek Hai To Safe Hai” slogan as a sham, highlighting systematic targeting and the erosion of minorities’ rights under BJP rule.

Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera has sharply criticized the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government for inciting anti-Muslim violence, resulting in the deaths of three Muslims during a mosque survey in Sambhal.

Khera accused Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the BJP-RSS of orchestrating unrest to polarize communities. He denounced their role in turning Western Uttar Pradesh, once a symbol of communal harmony, into a battleground of division.

The violence during the survey of the Mughal-era mosque in Sambhal epitomizes the BJP’s strategy of exploiting communal fault lines for political gain. This calculated incitement fuels distrust and hatred.

Khera condemned the administration’s failure to act against Hindutva provocateurs. He lambasted the police for enabling violence by ignoring provocative elements, further exacerbating communal tensions in the region.

The Congress leader also exposed the hollowness of the BJP’s “Ek Hai To Safe Hai” slogan, calling it a sham. Under BJP rule, minorities face systematic targeting and erosion of their rights.

Khera called the violence part of a larger conspiracy aimed at dismantling societal cohesion. He appealed to the people of Sambhal to reject hatred, urging them to embrace unity and peaceful coexistence.

Drawing on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s message, Khera emphasized the need to foster love over division. He encouraged legal recourse to ensure justice and safeguard constitutional rights against BJP’s oppressive policies.

Congress demanded accountability from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Khera called on them to prioritize national harmony over their political agendas, which thrive on dividing communities.

This incident reflects a broader pattern of BJP’s divisive governance, where communal polarization becomes a tool for electoral success. It highlights a dangerous trajectory undermining India’s secular fabric.

The tragic deaths in Sambhal, caused by the BJP’s calculated provocation, are a grim reminder of the cost of their divisive agenda. Such tactics are eroding the foundation of unity and mutual respect in India.

The Congress’s call for unity and accountability must resonate with citizens to counter this growing threat. The battle against hatred and polarization is not just political; it is a fight to preserve India’s identity.
