Sambhal Circle Officer Anuj Chaudhary suggested that while Holi is celebrated once a year, Friday prayers occur 52 times annually. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath backed the officer’s comments, claiming that the official, speaking as a “pehelwan,” made a valid point about the significance of Holi and the frequency of Friday prayers. Congress leader Udit Raj, however, questioned the officer’s impartiality and the stance of the Uttar Pradesh government. He said it is the duty of government officials to uphold the Constitution and not favour any particular community. He also claimed that the Constitution is currently under threat and that Rahul Gandhi is actively spreading awareness about its precarious position. He added that despite this ruling, no action has been taken, further highlighting the disregard for constitutional values. He concluded by saying: “Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi holds the Constitution’s copy always in his hand, and his efforts reflect the reality that the constitution is in danger at this moment”
