Communal Distraction in Fatehpur Aims to Divert Attention from Electoral Fraud Revelations

Mohammad Shafi, National Vice President of the Social Democratic Party of India, expresses profound shock and outrage over the sudden and orchestrated communal flare-up in Fatehpur district, Uttar Pradesh. Hindutva extremists vandalized a historic tomb in Abu Nagar, falsely portraying it as an ancient temple. This brazen act, which pushed communities to the brink of violence, is a grave assault on India’s secular fabric and a calculated attempt to incite division and hatred.

The SDPI firmly believes this communal provocation is designed to divert public attention from the explosive revelations of electoral fraud. By manufacturing such tensions, the ruling dispensation seeks to polarize society and drown out demands for transparency, accountability, and a clean voter list. This is an assault not just on minorities, but on the democratic rights of every citizen.

We urge the authorities to swiftly identify and prosecute those responsible for the Fatehpur vandalism, and to ensure the full protection of minority religious sites. The people of India deserve an electoral process free from manipulation, fear, and hate-mongering. The SDPI will continue to mobilize against such injustices and work tirelessly to safeguard communal harmony and democratic integrity.
