LOP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, along with newly elected Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi and other MPs, plan to visit violence-hit Sambhal on Wednesday, despite restrictions imposed by the district administration until December 10. The visit follows last month’s unrest, sparked by a survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid after claims that it was previously a Harihar temple, which led to protests involving gunfire, stone-pelting, and arson, leaving four dead.
Sambhal DM Rajendra Pensiya has requested officials from neighboring districts, including Ghaziabad, Amroha, Bulandshahr, and Gautam Buddha Nagar, to block Gandhi’s entry at their borders. Prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, restrict external individuals and representatives without prior approval, citing the district’s sensitive situation.
Meanwhile, Congress general secretary Avinash Pande called for public support, urging people to gather at the Ghazipur border to join the delegation. The administration continues to press Gandhi to postpone his visit.
