00:00So viewers, we saw that there was a huge unrest in Bareilly, in the state of
00:15Uttar Pradesh on 26th of September 2025. There was a campaign which was going on under the name
00:21I Love Mohamad and after the Friday prayers on that day, everything turned violent. There was
00:27a huge mob and after that, of course, there were several developments. But talking on this issue
00:32I have today, Anila Singh, she is the national spokesperson of the Bhartya Janata Party. Thank
00:38you so much, Anila ji, for speaking with Aesha and its news. You know, I want to pose a very
00:42straightforward question to you. Whenever we talk about any sort of communal violence in the state
00:46of Uttar Pradesh, opposition says that BJP is the one who is trying to consolidate Hindu votes
00:52by polarizing the, you know, the politics. At the other side, we see that, you know,
00:57the Bhartya Janata Party says that no, it's the SP and the Congress which is trying to play the
01:02appeasement politics. My question to you is which one is true and do you think that we live in the
01:07times where we have to just accept this fact that polarization has become an election tool
01:12and especially in the state of Uttar Pradesh? My Ram Ram to all. And firstly, I would like to
01:20correct you if you talk about the Bareilly and prior that if you talk about the Asambhal,
01:25it was not communal riot at all. It was not in between Hindu and Muslim. It was police administration
01:31clashed with the rioters. So no Hindus were involved in it. Though unfortunately, many, many,
01:38many, many, many, many political parties, many organizations and people in our country
01:44and internationally, they want to portray that whatever happens with the Muslims here in this
01:51country, that is because of the Hindu Muslim. They want to prove the fact that present governments,
01:56whether we talk about the center or Uttar Pradesh or any of the Bharti Janata Party governed states,
02:02they target minorities and they are the government of major majoritarian people living in this
02:09respective state of the country as well. So if I talk about the Bareilly, I will say I love Muhammad,
02:15banner poster, no problem at all. Our constitution gives this right to every person. They can very well
02:22love their Allah, God, Jesus, whosoever and they can show it also. They can carry out procession also.
02:31Perfect. No problem in that. But when you carry posters of I love Muhammad and then you carry
02:38petrol bombs, you carry sticks with you, you carry illegal arms, you attack police administration there.
02:46More than 30 police personals, they are badly injured, they are hospitalized. So what is the thought
02:53process? Thought process is the conspiracy. Conspiracy, what conspiracy? Conspiracy is that they are going to
02:59create rakas here. They are going to create chaos here. They are being funded from outside and then it
03:06is being covered by the media, all types of media. Then it will go to the international media. Then the
03:12discussions will be there in the assemblies of the Congress of UK, US, Canada, XYZ and the issue is going
03:19to come in UN that present governments in in Bharat and if I talk about Uttar Pradesh as well, they are
03:27targeting minorities and they and the police they are going to portray as an oppression tool and reality
03:35is far away from this because they know that how India is progressing, how Bharat is progressing. Last
03:41quarter our GDP was 7.8% where USA GDP, UK GDP or the China they are dragging, they are dragging behind.
03:51We are going ahead. We are strongly claiming permanent seat in UN. So it is a it is an international
03:59conspiracy and that is why Uttar Pradesh chief minister had to use such hard words that if you
04:05are not going to behave yourself right, we know very well how to treat you. Anilajji you often speak in
04:12your comments about how the other you know party stalwarts is actually using inflammatory speeches but right
04:19now you spoke about the hard words of Yogi Adityanath. Don't you think that he's seen more as a polarizing
04:26figure rather than a unifying chief minister because the speeches that he has also made is no good as well.
04:31I don't know what type of mindset has been nurtured in our nation because he is a bhadwa dhari
04:43chief minister, he is a yogi, he is a mahan, he is a peethadesh. That is why he is being portrayed that he
04:50polarizes. If you check out the social schemes implementation in Uttar Pradesh you will find
04:56that the majority people who had been benefited by the social schemes come from one particular
05:03religious community and that is Muslims. So how can you say that he polarizes? Reality is 99%
05:11political parties in this country they do appeasement politics for one particular religious
05:16community because they are their vote bank. Here we say that we are not going to appease anybody and
05:20definitely we are not going to target any majority population because time and again you take them for
05:26granted. If you say that bhagwa is something to communalize then why Sanatini's had to fight
05:33500 years, 500 years plus to get Ram Lala Mandir constructed? This is the irony.
05:39I want to come at this point if you just leave all these uh you know okay I understand there are
05:44social schemes happening which also cater to the minority but what about the bulldozer, so-called
05:49bulldozer justice. You know we have already seen supreme court making a very uh big critique of the
05:55government's move where it actually says that you you cannot you know do this without the due process
06:01of law you cannot do this you cannot bulldoze the properties of people who are on only you know accused
06:06criminally but they don't have any you know trial or they don't have any judgment yet but how can you
06:12just go ahead and demolish these properties don't you think that this is wrong even if the supreme court has
06:16come come up and said and criticize the government? With all due respect to respect to uh honorable
06:23supreme court I think they should let the chief ministers run their own state secondly I will
06:30like to tell you here because even I come from the background of police administration I know one thing
06:35very well that government machinery they are never ever going to take any wrong step under the pressure of
06:44anybody because they know that governments are going to come and go today Bharti Jinta Party
06:49government is there yesterday it was Samajwadi Party tomorrow you never know which government is
06:54going to form in Uttar Pradesh so they do not want to do anything wrong on the papers so whenever any
07:00illegal building is being uh bulldozed proper action is being taken proper paperwork is being followed and
07:07then the action is being taken but in this particular case in the Bareilly clashes whosoever
07:12was accused the properties of those accused were also immediately demolished where is the paper where
07:18is the due process of law a paperwork paperwork always happens and let me tell you that illegal construction was
07:26there on the municipal council's uh land so they were bulldozed they were given they were given notices
07:32earlier as well but they thought you know nothing is going to happen and we can keep on dragging and
07:37tomorrow our government will come and nothing is going to happen but let me just give you an example
07:44that today if I do something and I become a national sensation or a state sensation and everybody starts
07:51talking about Anila Singh and Anila Singh's organization definitely I will come in eyes everybody
07:57will like to know that who Anila Singh is what is her background what what does she do what is her work
08:03and when things come up that okay in this state uh where 25 more than 25 crores of people live
08:10okay these these these these these are the writers or the criminals or the dance mafias they are they
08:15have got so much of illegal work as well so the proper paperwork is being followed that I am 100 percent
08:21sure any picture which is being portrayed on the media is absolutely incorrect paper work is always
08:27performed yeah you earlier spoke about the you know whichever government is in place we have seen
08:33in Uttar Pradesh you know clashes happening but there have been clashes consistently you know in 2006 we had
08:40Aligarh clashes in 2013 Muzaffargarh happened then Bichnor then Kaasgansh then Veerai Chiv all of these
08:48controversies are happening again and again in the state of Uttar Pradesh don't you think that the
08:52intelligence needs to be on its toes all the time why is it that a mob you know suddenly gathers
08:59possessing guns pistols cartridges stones sticks don't you think that this is a big failure on the
09:06part of the government which actually you know boasts about the law and order situation in the state and
09:11how it has improved in the past years see uh since 2017 no communal riot has happened in Uttar Pradesh
09:22let me make myself very very clear on it no criminal riots in Uttar Pradesh yes before 2017
09:30we have seen time and again and time and again time and again communal conflicts happening in Uttar
09:36Pradesh and i come from western Uttar Pradesh western Uttar Pradesh was called the uh nursery of terrorism
09:43of crime this is what western Uttar Pradesh used to be called was named secondly if i talk about the
09:51Bareilly Bareilly's intelligence was not fair procession was allowed police administration was alert
09:58otherwise Hina ji believe me believe me i don't know how many lives would have been lost if police
10:05administration was not alert in 2013 during samajwadi party's government you saw the clashes
10:12hindu muslim clashes and how many people died all right so because of the alertness of the police
10:19administration situation was controlled no no life lost so that is an achievement of the Bareilly
10:27police administration how whenever these kind of protests happen uh the internet is shut down for a
10:33couple of days we have seen that you know in several instances now in India happening that there
10:38are uh consistent internet shutdowns there are people who are put under house arrest why all of this
10:45is happening uh is there any strong case to it because we have seen that happening across political uh
10:52parties where the ruling bjp actually puts uh people uh people the leaders of the other parties under house
10:59of the people of the people of the country and especially the trust of the minority
11:08um this country was divided on the lines of the religion one became islamic republic of pakistan all
11:17right and we bharat all right india that is bharat bharat that is india okay and there was no word
11:27no secular word in our preamble it was put in by mrs indra gandhi and why it was due to appeasement
11:36because this is a common process whenever there is a serious law and order situation then the shutdown
11:43of internet because we know that hundreds of groups are being made on whatsapp and then fake news and the
11:51all sort of steps are being taken to create ruckus and you know situation can get really great so the
11:59internet is being shut down by any of the government i will say so but i what i want to say is here that
12:06when our can when our nation got divided in between the two countries on the lines of the religion
12:12and if i talk about the preamble we did not have this word the secular i'm not talking about the
12:17socialists i'm talking about the secular but i will tell you sanatani as a hindu we know that we
12:23are the biggest secular people there was absolutely no need to put that word in the preamble but yet it
12:30was injected because they wanted to appease religious community from islam and this is happening
12:38continuously it is happening so if i talk if i talk if i talk about bjp government government states here
12:45that if you are going to create ruckus if you are going to take law and order in your hand we are
12:49not going to allow you that if we have to put you under house arrest we will do that if you have to
12:54shut down the internet we will do that if you are going to i mean attack police administration we are
13:00going to take action if you are going to do any sort of encouragement illegally we are going to take action
