Politics has heated up over the order issued regarding the Kanwar Yatra in UP. In Muzaffarnagar, the police have instructed to write the names of vendors on the shops, dhabas and carts along the Kanwar Yatra route. AIMIM President and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has expressed his displeasure over this and termed this decision as Hitlerism.
As per the order of Uttar Pradesh Police, now every food stall or cart owner will have to write his name on the board so that no Kanwariya Muslim buys anything from the shop by mistake. It was called Apartheid in South Africa and ‘Judenboycott’ in Hitler’s Germany. https://t.co/lgvCf2HoQE

On social media platform X, Owaisi targeted the Uttar Pradesh Police over the Kanwar Yatra. He wrote that as per the order of Uttar Pradesh Police, now every food shop or stall owner has to put up a board with his name on it, so that no kanwariya buys goods from a Muslim shop by mistake. Owaisi further wrote that in South Africa it was called apartheid and in Hitler’s Germany it was called ‘Juden Boykot’ (Boycott of the Jews).
Decision taken keeping law and order in mind – Police
In fact, a statement by Muzaffarnagar SSP Abhishek Singh is going viral on social media, in which he says, “Preparations for Kanwar Yatra have started, our district has about 240 km of road, in such a situation, all dhabas and food vendors will be boarded up.” He has been asked to write down the name of the owner or employee of his shop.This instruction has been given so that there is no confusion in the mind of any Kanwariya and the law and order situation is maintained.
Congress has also raised questions on this order
Congress spokesperson Pawan Kheda has also questioned this statement of SSP. Targeting the BJP government, he said that not only political parties, but all right-minded people and the media should also raise their voice against government-sponsored bigotry. Attacking the BJP, Pawan Kheda has said that we cannot allow the country to be pushed into a dark age.
Not just political parties, all right-thinking people and the media must stand up against this state-sponsored bigotry. We cannot allow BJP to push the country into a dark age. https://t.co/2OGe70eTf2
