In a sharp response, MP Zia Ur Rehman alleged that Anuj Chaudhary made the remarks deliberately to gain the government's attention.

The controversy erupted when CO Anuj Chaudhary’s statement on Holi celebrations and Friday prayers went viral, sparking mixed reactions from different political and social groups. While some supported his stance, others accused him of making biased and unnecessary comments that could escalate communal tensions.

As the issue gained traction, CM Yogi Adityanath’s endorsement of the officer’s statement further intensified the debate. The opposition, particularly the Samajwadi Party, criticized the government’s approach, claiming it reflects a partisan mindset within the administration.

With tensions rising, the demand for action against CO Anuj Chaudhary is growing, with political leaders urging the government to clarify its position. Meanwhile, the police department has yet to issue an official statement on the matter.

The incident has sparked discussions on the role of officials in maintaining communal harmony and whether personal remarks should influence governance. As political pressure mounts, all eyes are now on the Uttar Pradesh government’s next move in addressing the controversy.
