Fatwa issued during the election campaign.

Let us tell you that Samajwadi Party candidate from Sisamau assembly seat Naseem Solanki performed Jalabhishek on Shivling in a historic temple of Kanpur on the night of Diwali. Naseem Solanki lit a lamp in the temple and performed Puja with full rituals. After the video of this came out, the matter caught such a big issue that the discussion became heated from political corridors to maulanas, and a fatwa was issued against the SP candidate. National President of All India Muslim Jamaat Maulana Mufti Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi issued a fatwa against Naseem and said that he should repent.

By-elections were held on these 9 seats.

Let us tell you that by-elections were held on 9 assembly seats of UP. Voting was held on November 20 for by-elections in Meerapur (Muzaffarnagar), Kundarki (Moradabad), Ghaziabad, Khair (Aligarh), Karhal (Mainpuri), Sisamau (Kanpur Nagar), Phulpur (Prayagraj), Katehari (Ambedkarnagar) and Majhawan (Mirzapur) assembly seats. Out of the nine seats on which by-elections were held, eight seats have fallen vacant due to the resignation of the current MLAs from the assembly after they were elected to the Lok Sabha. On one seat, Sisamau, by-elections were held due to the cancellation of the assembly membership of the current SP MLA Irfan Solanki after he was convicted in a criminal case.
