The BJP on Wednesday hit out at Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for attempting to visit violence-hit Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh, saying that the Congress leader's attempt to visit the region was just a "formality" to attract media attention and also claimed that this was done to compete with Samajwadi Party (SP) for securing their vote banks in the state.
Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi, Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi and other Congress leaders were stopped by police at the Ghazipur border and prevented from proceeding to Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh where a court-ordered survey of a Mughal-era mosque on November 19 led to protests and clashes, leaving four dead and many injured.
With prohibitory orders in place in Sambhal, Gandhi was stopped at the Ghazipur border in Ghaziabad on his way to the district, a senior police officer said.
