Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak held a press conference to address the judicial commission’s report on the Sambhal violence. He stated that the report has been submitted to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and will be made public after being reviewed by the cabinet. Pathak highlighted concerns about demographic changes in the state, particularly in border areas, attributing these efforts to organized groups and foreign influences. He mentioned that even in 1924, following riots, Jawaharlal Nehru was sent by Gandhi to investigate Sambhal, resulting in a 12-page report detailing the attacks on Hindus by Muslim rioters. Pathak criticized the previous governments, specifically the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party, for failing to prevent the exodus of Hindus from Sambhal.
