Kasganj: Bareilly DM who questioned 'trend' of entering Muslim localities writes another FB post

The IAS officer posted another Facebook post where he tried to clarify his stand

NEW DELHI: On Tuesday, the District Magistrate of Bareilly deleted the Facebook post that became quite controversial. The Bareilly district magistrate, Raghvendra Vikkram Singh, had asked why it has become a "trend" for some to first "enter Muslim localities by force, raise anti-Pakistan slogans and then create ruckus". This Facebook post was made a few days after communal clashes in Kasganj city in Uttar Pradesh. Capture The Bareilly District Magistrate posted another message regarding the incident in which he said, Our post was related to the problem of law n order during the Kanwar in Bareilly. I had hoped there will be academic discussion but unfortunately it had taken a different turn extremely sad. He added, “ Pakistan is enemy ... there is no doubt about it. Our Muslims are ours.. There is no doubt in this too. I want this dispute to end. I do apologize if our freinds do not” 1 As per reports, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the BJP are miffed with Bareilly District Magistrate. One MLA, Rajesh Mishra, told the media that such an official had no business remaining in the chair for even a minute and that he will raise the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP President Amit Shah and Adityanath. "His mentality as reflected in the Facebook post clearly shows he is working against our values and hence should be acted against," Mishra said.
