Sambhal (UP), March 12 Foreign disputes should not affect law and order in India, and those disturbed by such events should not create unrest here, a police officer said during a security review meeting for the upcoming Alvida prayers and Eid.
A video of the meeting held at the Sambhal Kotwali police station on Wednesday, where Circle Officer Kuldeep Singh made the remarks, has surfaced on social media.
"Many people are getting agitated about the war between Iran and Israel, and they are trying to interfere. They are beating their chests. Brother, if you have so much trouble, then you should board a plane and go to Iran and fight on Iran's behalf," the officer said.
Singh told
"My point was that incidents happening on foreign soil should not disturb the local atmosphere. Our objective is to maintain peace and order," he said.
During the meeting, Singh advised people not to raise slogans or display placards in support of or against any foreign country during prayers.
He goes on to say, "There's a fight going on between two other countries, and if that fight has any impact on law and order in our country, then we'll take action."
Singh said that disputes between foreign nations should not affect law and order in India and that those disturbed by such conflicts should not attempt to create unrest locally.
He also warned that any attempt to raise slogans related to international conflicts during Alvida or Friday prayers would not be tolerated.
