In Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, a tumult arose over a mausoleum, which was led by BJP district chief Mukhlal Pal. However, his name does not appear in the FIR filed by the police against the riotous crowd. Notably, Mukhlal Pal took responsibility for the incident himself. Furthermore, he described the vandalism at the mausoleum as the outrage of the Sanatan people. Now, a video of Mukhlal has surfaced, where he is heard saying to the SP over the phone, 'This is not Mulayam Singh's government that you will have the firing ordered. If you dare, try having them shoot.'
It is reported that during a phone conversation with Fatehpur SP, BJP district chief Mukhlal Pal communicated various things. Mukhlal states - SP sir, you had promised me a meeting but failed to meet. You may think you can control us with a baton, but that's not the case. I challenge you, if you have the power, have them shoot.

Mukhlal had organized a gathering at the mausoleum for worship, inviting the Hindu Mahasabha and several organizations, where the vandalism and flag flying took place. Currently, this viral video on social media is raising many questions. The opposition is targeting the government.
Meanwhile, after the police crackdown on rioters, a new statement from BJP district chief Mukhlal Pal has surfaced today. Just a day before, Mukhlal Pal had announced a program for worship and cleaning at the alleged temple. However, after the action against the rioters, Mukhlal's tone appears to have changed. In this new statement, BJP district chief appeals to maintain peace and not to pay attention to rumors.
Notably, the conflict between a temple and a mausoleum in the Abu Nagar area of Fatehpur district has escalated. Hindu organizations are claiming this mausoleum to be a temple of Lord Shiva and Shri Krishna, while the Muslim side argues it to be the mausoleum of Nawab Abdul Samad. Amidst the conflict, yesterday hundreds of Hindu supporters stormed the mausoleum, resulting in vandalism.
The atmosphere turned tense following the incident. Given the circumstances, substantial forces have been deployed at the site, and actions are being taken against the miscreants. FIRs have been registered against dozens, including members associated with BJP, SP, and Hindu organizations. Meanwhile, the opposition has become aggressive against the BJP government.
