The Kanpur unit of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) has displayed offensive ‘sar tan se juda’ posters calling for the public execution of Dasna Devi Temple head priest Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati for his remarks about Prophet Muhammad.
Kanpur Police responded to the incident on Twitter on April 16. It acknowledged the incident’s occurrence. They stated that on April 12, 2021, Chamanganj police had filed a FIR against the miscreants in Kanpur. They went on to say that IPC sections 153 A and 295 A had been invoked in the case, and that police were on the lookout for the accused.

AIMIM posts posters in Kanpur demanding the execution of Yati Narsinghanand and Wasim Rizvi. It was reported that one of Kanpur’s billboards depicted Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati’s head severed from his body. Along with Narsinghanand Saraswati’s decapitated body, the poster also depicted a beheaded Wasim Rizvi, the former chairman of the Shia Central Board of Waqf in Uttar Pradesh. Another heinous poster depicted a dog and a child urinating on Narsinghanand Saraswati and Wasim Rizvi. The poster also demanded the execution of Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati and Wasim Rizvi.
Kanpur police responded on social media as well, stating that the posters had been removed and an investigation into the matter had been launched. Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati has been under fire since making remarks about Prophet Muhammad. Since then, many Muslim hardliners in various cities have protested against the head priest of the Dasna Devi Temple. Several Muslim groups and even mainstream political parties have repeatedly called for the priest’s beheading for alleged blasphemy.
Enraged by Islamic fanatics openly calling for the murder of Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati, Hindus from all over the country are banding together to show their support for the Hindu priest.
