Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on Monday attacked the Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP) amid the disruption over their proposed visits to Sambhal. He criticised both opposition parties for indulging in politics over riots and deaths, saying that they are the ones who create chaos, ANI reported.

"Indulging in politics over riots and deaths is the character of Congress and Samajwadi Party. Ek to aag lagate hain (They are the ones who disrupt). Why are they sending the delegation (to Sambhal)? The court asked for the survey to be carried out in line with the Constitution. Congress supports claims made by Waqf, but when a Hindu party goes to court...they want to stand with rioters. This shows Congress' role in the politics of polarisation," BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla told ANI.
