Balrampur:

Former BJP MLA Shailesh Kumar Shailu has alleged that the Balrampur authority failed to act against Maulana Changur, who has been facing charges of religious conversion, despite knowing everything about the issue. Shailu alleged that officials were busy distributing commission among themselves, and people were devoid of the benefits of the government schemes.

The former MLA said locals have alleged that the common people are being harassed while Balrampur DM is engaged in favouritism and partiality. He claimed that officials are more interested in taking commissions from government schemes than implementing them for public welfare.

 
Shailu said Changur Baba Gang was openly involved in religious conversions, and there was no point in the police being unaware of his deeds. He said a meeting was held last Friday regarding the forced religious conversion. "People fear that if they speak out or provide information, they will be threatened," he said. It was further claimed that while small operatives are active on the ground, a bigger financier is funding their activities.

"Even if complaints are made to the SP and DM, no action is taken. Though the Chief Minister takes action, by the time it reaches the district level, the probes lose their meaning. The lower-level officials are not doing their job properly, which is why people like Changur Baba are thriving in the districts," he said.

Who is Changur Baba?

UP's 'Changur Baba' has become a sensational figure in the politics of Uttar Pradesh for the last few days. Changur's real name is Jalaluddin, and he has been accused of misleading girls and converting them to Islam.
