SP MP Iqra Hasan placed under house arrest

Samajwadi Party Member of Parliament Iqra Hasan was placed under house arrest at her residence in Kairana, preventing her from attending a meeting in Saharanpur. The administration had demolished an illegal mosque within the Saharanpur Collectorate complex following a court order that upheld the removal. Iqra Hasan stated that a large police force blocked her from leaving for Saharanpur, as she intended to address officials regarding the mosque issue and voice the concerns of her constituents.

She questioned the legality of preventing MPs from meeting officials on matters concerning their constituents' welfare. The mosque had been found to be illegally constructed on government land by the District Magistrate's court, and its appeal was dismissed on September 4. Additional security forces were deployed across the district in preparation for ongoing festivals and the demolition exercise.

Congress MP Imran Masood criticized the demolition, alleging that the mosque had existed since before 1911 and that its ownership remained with Wahid Khan and Yaqub Khan. He claimed that the Constitution was violated during the demolition and that the matter would be challenged through legal means.
