Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi’s Controversial Remarks on Maha Kumbha Mela
Lucknow, UP – As the Uttar Pradesh government, under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, prepares to make the upcoming Maha Kumbha at Prayagraj a magnificent event, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi, National President of the All India Muslim Jamaat, has stirred controversy. Razvi has demanded a ban on alleged plans to convert Muslims during the Kumbha.
मुझे सूत्रों से पता चला है कि महाकुंभ मेला प्रयागराज में कई सौ मुसलमानो का धर्मांतरण कराया जायेगा ?
धर्मांतरण कार्यक्रम कराये जाने पर प्रतिबंध लगाएं!@myogiadityanath @narendramodi @RahulGandhi @priyankagandhi @BJP4India @BJP4UP @rajnathsingh @AmitShah @DM_PRAYAGRAJ pic.twitter.com/zBA3nEp8m5— Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi (@Shahabuddinbrly) January 3, 2025
In a letter to CM Yogi, Maulana Razvi expressed concerns about potential conversions during the Maha Kumbha, claiming that such incidents could lead to unrest in the state and the country.
Key Points Raised by Maulana Razvi:
1. Razvi claims he has received information about plans for the mass conversion of Muslims at the Maha Kumbha. He emphasized that Uttar Pradesh already has laws against religious conversion, and any such activity at the Kumbha would violate these laws. He urged the government to prohibit such programs.
An attempt to discredit Hindus has surfaced with claims that Muslims will be converted during the Mahakumbh. The allegation was made by Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi, the National President of the All India Mu$!im Jamaat.

2. Razvi stated that the Kumbha is a religious event meant to spread a message of unity, not division. (However, Hindu festivals have always symbolized unity and peace. It is unwarranted for members of other communities to lecture Hindus about their traditions. – Editor)
The Maha Kumbha is an essential part of Hindu culture and spirituality. Attempts to politicize it or spread baseless allegations against it are not only misguided but also divisive. Those pointing fingers should introspect about their own communities and focus on genuine issues rather than creating false narratives- Editor
