In a post in Hindi on X, Priyanka Gandhi said, “The attitude of the State Government regarding the sudden dispute in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal is very unfortunate. The way the administration acted in haste in such a sensitive matter without listening to the other side, without taking both the parties into confidence, shows that the government itself spoiled the atmosphere there.” “The administration did not even consider it necessary to follow the necessary procedure and duty,” the Congress general secretary said.
"Trying to spread discrimination, oppression and division while sitting in power is neither in the interest of the people nor in the interest of the country. The honourable Supreme Court should take cognisance of the matter and do justice," Priyanka Gandhi said. "My appeal to the people of the State is to maintain peace in all circumstances," she asserted.
