VHP, Bajrang Dal activists stop Ram Navami rally outside mosque, play loud music in UP
Cops say rally was taken out peacefully under their supervision
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.
Commenting on the police department's response, one user criticized, "Are you blind? They stopped the procession in front of the mosque and played DJ at high volume." Another user expressed skepticism, stating, "It doesn't seem peaceful from any angle."
The discrepancy between the police department's assertion of a peaceful rally and the evident disruption depicted in the video highlighted a potential disconnect between official statements and on-the-ground reality or the negligence of the authorities over a serious issue that could have potentially triggered a law and order situation in the region.

Vandalism at Allu Arjun's residence in Hyderabad
Hyderabad, Dec 22: A group of persons, claiming to be members of Osmania University Joint Action Committee, on Sunday vandalised flower pots and other things at the residence of top Telugu actor Allu Arjun here.
The protesters raised slogans against the actor and sought justice to the woman who died in a stampede at a movie theatre here earlier this month on the occasion of screening of the actor's latest film 'Pushpa-2'.
The protesters were taken away by the police.
A placard left by them said crores of rupees are made by making films, while those watching films are dying.
The OU-JAC was in the forefront of Telangana statehood agitation.
