Bareilly division remains on high alert following violent clashes over the ‘I Love Muhammad’ poster controversy. With Dussehra festivities underway, authorities have deployed additional police along with drones for surveillance.
A young man was pasting “I Love Muhammad” posters in a neighborhood in Jadhua. Locals spotted the young man and informed members of the Hindu organization.
Since Friday morning, Islamia Maidan and Biharipur were turned into cantonments. A heavy police force was deployed, along with barricades, on the Shyamganj Mandi road.
Asaduddin Owaisi said the controversy amounts to a form of social boycotting of Muslims and questioned what threat such posters pose.
