Kanwar Yatra 2024: RLD Launches Major Attack On UP Govt Over Voluntary Name Display Order | ABP News

The criticism of the Uttar Pradesh Police's new order for the Kanwar Yatra is growing. The directive requires every food shop or cart along the Kanwar Yatra route to display the owner's name on a board. This measure aims to prevent kanwariyas from unintentionally buying from Muslim-owned shops, thereby reducing confusion, accusations, and maintaining law and order. The order expects voluntary compliance. Opposition has come from various quarters, including SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav and BSP Supremo Mayawati. Now, senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has also expressed disapproval of the directive. The controversy highlights increasing discontent over the UP Police's approach to managing the event.
