BJP CM Yogi directly responsible for Bahraich riots: AIMMM
New Delhi: The All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat (AIMMM), a confederation of Muslim organisations and personalities of eminence, has said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, is directly responsible for the violence in Bahraich.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the organization expressed its deep concerns over the violence that has been going on since Sunday in Mehsi and other places of Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh with the support of the police.
The AIMMM President, Feroze Ahmed, said that the social fabric of the country has been seriously under danger by the politics of communal hatred and violence. He said the Uttar Pradesh police led by the BJP government are supporting the rioters.
Feroze Ahmed said that the acts of violence that took place in Bahraich were not accidental, but were planned actions. First, there was a riot and now innocent people are being oppressed, he said. He demanded the resignation of the Yogi Adityanath involved in the communal riots in the state.
In another development, a senior Supreme Court lawyer, described the decision of the Karnataka High Court in quashing the case against the accused persons who entered a mosque and shouted Jai Shri Ram slogans. The accused “had conspired to destroy social harmony and law and order,” he said, adding the court’s remark that chanting Jai Shri Ram inside the mosque does not hurt anyone’s religious sentiments was regrettable. He said miscreants are encouraged by the same behaviour of police and judges.
