Police later slapped Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) charges against the Congress’ Ferozepur Jhirka MLA Mamman Khan in the case.”A day after the violence, they demolished the homes of some people who were not even involved, thousands of our structures were demolished of poor people, they were not even involved in this incident, and the stringent UAPA was initiated. That is the reason the Congress has been demanding a judicial inquiry into what led to the communal incident. It was not just the loss of lives and property but also faith amongst people,” Ahmed said.”We are fortunate enough that people saw through their game and one day after the incident, no such incident was repeated and people realised that we have to live in harmony. We will bring a law against lynching in the name of cow protection,” he added.Ahmed (58) is pitted against the BJP’s Sanjay Singh, the sitting MLA from Sohna constituency, in Nuh.The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) has fielded Tahir Hussain.Tahir Hussain is the son of Zakir Hussain, a three-time MLA from the constituency and chairperson of the Haryana Waqf Board. He recently joined the INLD.The BJP has never won from Nuh and the voters here have historically supported the Congress and the INLD.Nuh was established as a separate district in 2005 from parts of what was then Gurgaon and Faridabad.
