Huge Row After UP Orders Food Joints Along Kanwar Yatra Route To Show Owners' Names
The Uttar Pradesh police's latest directive asking eateries on the Kanwar yatra route in Muzaffarnagar to show their owners' names has stirred a row with the Opposition linking the move to "apartheid" in South Africa and policies during Adolf Hitler's rule in Germany. Kanwar yatra, an annual pilgrimage by Lord Shiva devotees, will begin on July 22. Muzaffarnagar Police has mandated all food joints along the route to display their owner's name prominently to avoid confusion during the religious procession. "Such orders are social crimes," Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said in a post on X.
