Amethi as a constituency is often in the political spotlight. However, on 14th July 2024, faced a new kind of “peaceful” turmoil. During the recent Muharram procession in Musafirkhana, anti-social slogans created an uproar. The “peaceful” religious fervor turned into a threat against the Hindu community. This incident, coupled with the political shifts post-2024 Lok Sabha elections, highlights a growing menace in Congress-controlled constituencies. Let’s explore!
“Peaceful” Slogans Raised in Amethi
कांग्रेस ने अमेठी में जीत हासिल कर ली है और अब वहां से नारे सुनाई दे रहे हैं:
"हिंदुस्तान में रहना है तो "हुसैन" कहना है।"
यह बेहद चिंताजनक और उकसावे भरी स्थिति है।
क्या यह संदेश दिया जा रहा है कि धर्म के नाम पर विभाजन और दबाव की राजनीति फिर से जोर पकड़ेगी?

In the heart of Amethi’s Musafirkhana town, a Muharram procession took a disturbing turn. A viral video of the procession shows “peaceful” youths raising slogans of “Hindustan me rehna hai to ya Hussain kahna hai.” However, the veiled threat in this slogan was not its most alarming aspect. The procession went on a frenzy of sloganeering right before the police station.
It seemed that the “peacefuls” thought they were secure as Amethi is a CONgress constituency!

This blatant display of communal provocation went viral, sparking outrage and fear among the Hindu community. The police swiftly took cognizance only after the video went viral. They have registered a case and launched an investigation. SP Anup Kumar Singh says that the “peacefuls” in the video have been identified and put in custody. Additional legal measures will be taken on the organizers and participants. Despite these measures, the incident left a chilling impact on the local Hindus.
Communal Terror Among Hindus Of Amethi
Mouni Ji Maharaj, head priest of Swami Paramhans Ashram, vocally presented the community’s concerns to all. He correctly states that despite being in a BJP-run state, an atmosphere of fear was created in Amethi by raising such objectionable slogans. He calls for immediate action to stop the evil intentions of such radical elements of the “peaceful” community. His statement underscores the gravity of the situation, reflecting the community’s anxiety over potential communal unrest.
It is clear to all that the roots of such slogans are not a momentary loss of reason in a mob! It’s a mindset that extends beyond local boundaries, with connections to zealot teachings and ideologies. The local leaders remark that such slogans aim to create communal tensions in the minds of the Hindus of Bharat. Moreover, many speculate the rise of radical elements is a consequence of subtle political protection.
Smriti Irani Rejected, Hindus Ejected?
Amethi was a traditional Congress constituency. In 2019, it briefly went to Smriti Irani of the BJP. However, in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections the constituency again chose the Congress leader over BJP’s Smriti Irani. The re-establishment of INC’s “raaj” in Amethi seems to embolden the radicals in the region. Thus, the state government is left to react to incidents. Why? Because the “peacefuls” miscreants have faith that an INDI-Alliance MP will ensure that they get away scott-free for such rhetorics!
Consequently, Most INC or SP constituencies in Uttar Pradesh report a rise in “peaceful” behavior after the BJP lost ground in the 2024 Lok Sabha.
पिछले 24 घंटों में भाजपा शासित राज्यों में। एक बार सत्ता चली गई तो हम सोचेंगे ‘काश BJP को वोट दिया होता '.

Thus, seemingly protection from political quarters is assumed by anti-social “peaceful” elements who crawl out of the woodwork to terrorize the Hindus of Bharat, even if the state is run by BJP. Additionally, in regions where INC has regained power after many years, these “peaceful” have become more brazen. Consequently, making life increasingly difficult for non-Muslim communities. And the recent Muharram incident in Amethi is a glaring example of this trend.
For Amethi, it seems that the rejection of Smriti Irani by Amethi’s Hindus has paved the way for radicals to assert dominance. With INC’s subtle backing, “peaceful” zealots now aim to eject Hindus from their regions by hook or crook. The objectionable slogans during Muharram are not just chants; they are a declaration of intent. If unchecked, this could lead to the systematic marginalization of Hindus in areas under Congress’s influence.
Word To The Wise
The presumed protection by anti-social elements on behalf of Congress is alarming. It signals a deeper political tendency where certain elements perpetuate communal tensions when a particular party is in political favor. This strategy could lead to severe communal strife against the Hindus of Bharat, even in NDA ruled states!
Amethi’s Muharram procession incident is a wake-up call. It exposes how “peaceful” zealots, under political patronage, can transform religious events into threats!
The Hindu community in Amethi and similar regions must stay vigilant. The BJP government in states and at the center must act decisively to prevent “peaceful” disruption of communal harmony. Only through prompt and firm action can the sinister designs of these radicals be thwarted. Let the unsaid but assumed protection of INC and these anti-social elements be dismantled to ensure the security of Sanatana Bharat!
