Meerut police have issued a directive restricting this year’s Eid namaz to designated locations, such as nearby mosques and the ground at Faiz-e-Aam Inter College. Emphasizing strict enforcement, Meerut SP (City) Ayush Vikram Singh warned that violators would face legal action, including FIRs and possible arrests. Additionally, authorities may initiate the cancellation of passports and driving licenses for those defying the order.
To ensure compliance, a comprehensive security plan has been put in place, involving drone surveillance, video monitoring, and the deployment of forces like the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) and Rapid Action Force (RAF). The SP also noted that last year, cases were filed against 200 worshippers for offering namaz on the streets.
The police advisory sparked a cryptic response from RLD leader and NDA minister Jayant Chaudhary, who commented on social media, “Policing Towards Orwellian 1984!” His remark drew immediate connections to George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984, which depicts state control and absolute power.
Jayant’s party, the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), initially aligned with the opposition INDIA bloc before joining the NDA ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Speculation about an RLD-BJP alliance gained traction after the Bharat Ratna was posthumously awarded to Jayant’s grandfather, former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, in February 2024. At the time, Jayant had publicly welcomed the recognition, stating, “Dil jeet liya mera” (They have won my heart).
