Uttar Pradesh Police stop Samajwadi Party delegation from visiting violence-hit Bareilly
The Uttar Pradesh Police on Saturday (October 4, 2025) stopped a Samajwadi Party (SP) delegation headed by Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Mata Prasad Pandey from visiting Bareilly, where violence broke out last week following protests over ‘I Love Muhammed' banners.
The delegation members comprising four MPs and other senior party leaders were either stopped or put under house arrest.
SP president Akhilesh Yadav had constituted the team to visit Bareilly and gather information on the September 26 violence in the city.
“The police said they would stop me and not allow me to go. They are keeping a vigil on me as if I were a history-sheeter. The government is trying to hide its shortcomings. I was given a notice by the police, and the inspector told me I have to stay home and not leave. If the Collector had written [to me], I would have accepted it. Then, a letter came from the Bareilly District Magistrate. He said that my arrival would spoil the atmosphere there, so ‘you should not come here [Bareilly]' .To hide their [government's] own shortcomings, they are not allowing us to go there,” said Mr. Pandey in Lucknow. Police personnel were present outside Mr. Pandey's house.
The SP MPs were stopped at different places while travelling to Bareilly. The police action started on October 3 evening.
Senior Lok Sabha MP Afzal Ansari called the State police action “autocratic”. “This is an undeclared emergency or a martial law-kind of situation. India is a democracy, where the Opposition is an important stakeholder. Political party leaders and elected representatives have the right to meet people in Bareilly and find the facts of the situation. Four MPs and Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly were part of the delegation. How can lawmakers be lawbreakers? Such an autocratic step by the State government only shows that it wants to hide its failures and atrocities committed in Bareilly,” Mr. Ansari said.
Bareilly witnessed violence on September 26 after an Islamic cleric and Ittehad-e-Millat Council chief Tauqeer Raza Khan announced a sit-in in response to alleged instances of derogatory remarks against the Prophet in different parts of the country, including Shahjahanpur, and the police action against those who carried ‘I Love Muhammed' banners during a Id-e-Milad-un-Nabi procession in Kanpur. The Kanpur police had booked 24 people in connection with the banners.
The ruling BJP accused the Opposition of attempting to vitiate the atmosphere in Bareilly and said the police thwarted any attempt to incite violence. “The government will not allow anyone to disturb peace and tranquillity. For whom are they [the SP delegation] going to Bareilly? For those who broke the law, threw stones, and attacked the police,” said senior U.P. Minister J.P.S. Rathore.
