Security agencies across Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal were placed on alert after provocative hoardings appeared overnight in Lucknow, warning of a “Babri-style” confrontation over a proposed mosque project in Murshidabad district of West Bengal. The hoardings, put up by the Vishwa Hindu Raksha Parishad (VHRP), announced a march to Murshidabad on February 10 and carried messages calling the site a “New Babri,” raising concerns of possible communal unrest.
