Bareilly, India, (Pakistan Point News - 30th Jan, 2018 ) Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly's District Magistrate Raghvendra Vikram Singh, in a Facebook post, asked why is raising anti-Pakistan slogans becoming a "trend" for some people? He put up two posts on Facebook following the communal violence that took place in Kasganj, where one person was killed and houses and other properties were vandalised. According to The Times of India, Singh said he is angry and hurt by what is happening "in the name of nationalism".

The district magistrate wrote, " A strange tradition has started of late. Taking out processions through the Muslim populated localities and raising anti-Pakistan slogans by force. Why? Are these people from Pakistan? The same incident happened in Khailam village in Bareilly. Stones were peleted, FIRs were lodged." In another post, Singh asked why there are no slogans against China, which is "a bigger enemy" of the nation. He also said, "Such fringe groups are coming up in every part of the state, taking the same ugly route to instigate people of the minority community by forcefully entering their locality in the name of nationalism. These people don't care about the fabric of our mixed culture and brotherhood."
