Sambhal mosque or a mandir? Big focus on Gaurav Sawant's show

Over a week after violent clashes in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav raised the issue in Parliament and blamed the BJP for the violent escalation. He alleged the incident had been well planned by the BJP. In response, the BJP has defended its actions and accused the opposition of appeasement politics. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi intend to visit Sambhal despite prohibitory orders. The controversy has reignited the debate over the Places of Worship Act 1991 and the role of the Archaeological Survey of India in protecting monuments. A similar petition regarding a mosque in the Budaun's district has also been filed.
