Lucknow News: Police have registered a case against 15 members of Lakhan Army in Kasmandi Kala of Malihabad. The police took this action during the protest after Friday prayers in this area of Lucknow. The Pasi community was strongly opposing the Muslim community offering namaz in the historical fort and the premises called Shiv Mandir and installing tombs and Urdu stone tablets there. To maintain law and order, the administration had deployed heavy police force by barricading the entire area. After this unilateral police action, Lakhan Army chief Suraj Pasi has announced to launch a movement in the entire state.
Allegation from the side of foreign invaders and warning of agitation
Lakhan Army chief Suraj Pasi has strongly opposed this action of UP Police. He directly alleged that the police was working in favor of foreign invaders. Suraj Pasi has warned that if this case is not withdrawn then a big movement will be organized in the entire state.

The organization has now decided to run a special campaign for the liberation of King Kansa’s fort and Shiva temple. For this, Lakhan Army will go from village to village to create awareness in the society.
Historical fort of King Kansa or mosque-cemetery?
At the center of this entire controversy is a historical place of Malihabad. The Pasi community claims that what is currently being described as a mosque and a graveyard is actually the fort of the 11th century Nagvanshi ruler King Kansa. He says that this historical heritage has been changed in a wrong way. To strengthen its point, the society has cited the old gazetteer, according to which King Kansa had killed two generals of the foreign invader Salar Masood Ghazi in this area.
Letter to the Chief Minister and announcement of reading Hanuman Chalisa
In view of the tension, representatives of Pasi community have written a letter to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath demanding immediate intervention. The society says that if Namaz is offered continuously there, then they will recite Hanuman Chalisa there. On the other hand, the Muslim community is calling it their mosque and tomb. At present, the administration is on full alert mode to prevent possible conflict. The organization claims that this campaign will connect the entire Hindu society along with the Pasi community.
