Zia-ur-Rahman Barq denies inflammatory speech allegations

Samajwadi Party (SP) MP, Zia ur Rehman Barq has strongly denied the allegations that he delivered an inflammatory speech which led to violence at Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal during a court-ordered survey of the mosque last year in November. Speaking on the notice issued to him, Barq clarified his position, asserting that the charges against him were completely baseless.

“You all already know this very well, but I will still clarify. The incident that



took place in Sambhal included my name under the charge of delivering an inflammatory speech, which is completely wrong. It is under this allegation that I have been issued a notice,” Barq said.
