\"Sambhal<\/div>\n
At least five people have died, and over 20 police personnel were injured in violent clashes that erupted in Sambhal<\/a>, Uttar Pradesh, following a court-ordered survey of the Mughal-era Shahi Jama Masjid<\/a>. The violence, which escalated on Sunday, followed a petition filed by senior advocate Vishnu Shanker Jain, alleging that the mosque was originally a temple.
<\/p>\n

Court-Mandated Survey Sparks Protests<\/h2>\n

<\/strong>The tensions began when a large group of protesters gathered near the mosque as the survey team started its work. The protesters shouted slogans, attempted to torch vehicles, and pelted stones at the police. In response, the police used tear gas and batons to disperse the mob. According to officials, gunshots were fired by the miscreants, and some pellets struck policemen. Authorities are investigating the source of the gunfire.

Superintendent of Police Krishna Kumar Vishnoi confirmed that the police used minimal force and tear gas to restore order. He also stated that an FIR was being filed, and the accused would face charges under the National Security Act (NSA).

District Authorities Impose Strict Measures<\/h2>\n

<\/strong>In the wake of the violence, the Sambhal District Magistrate issued a notice prohibiting outsiders, social organizations, or public representatives from entering the area without official permission. The order, which is in effect until November 30, also prohibits the gathering of materials such as stones or flammable items, and construction materials are being confiscated from public spaces.<\/p>\n

As a precautionary measure, internet services were suspended for a day to prevent the spread of misinformation. The local administration has vowed to take strict action against anyone found violating the orders.
<\/p>\n

Political Reactions to the Violence<\/h2>\n

<\/strong>The violent clashes have sparked political reactions from various quarters. Uttar Pradesh Minister Yogendra Upadhyay condemned the stone-pelting incident, stressing that disobeying a court order was a serious crime. He emphasized that under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath<\/a>\u2019s governance, everyone must adhere to law and order.Union Minister Giriraj Singh also condemned the attack, calling it an assault on India\u2019s democracy and the rule of law. He criticized the community responsible for the violence, accusing them of undermining trust in India\u2019s democratic institutions.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Congress Party has blamed the Uttar Pradesh government for the violence. Party leader Pawan Khera accused the Yogi Adityanath administration and the BJP-RSS of orchestrating a “well-planned conspiracy” to create unrest in Sambhal. Khera criticized the court’s immediate order for the survey and suggested that it was part of a larger political strategy to stoke division and harm the state’s peace.<\/p>\n

The situation in Sambhal remains tense as authorities continue to address the aftermath of the violence. With strict orders in place and political tensions rising, the incident has sparked a broader debate about religious and communal harmony in the region.<\/p>\n
