BJP accuses former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav of inciting riots
Lucknow/UNI: Uttar Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday alleged that Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav and other leaders incited protestors for violence during violence against Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).
Uttar Pradesh deputy Chief Minister Dr Dinesh Sharma here alleged that SP president and their leaders were spreading rumours that Muslims will lose their citizenship through CAA. He said that even family of SP president was not unanimously opposing the law as family’s daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav has supported it.
Dr Sharma said SP president was deliberately misguiding public on National Register of Citizenship (NRC) and CAA for political mileage.
He said that SP leaders were backing protesters during violence in Kanpur while information of involvement of prohibited organisation Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) was found in violence in Kanpur.
The UP deputy CM said that SIMI leaders were on the run and manhunt launched to nab them. He said country-made pistols and bombs were used in violence which proves that protesters were planned in big way.
He said Central and State government has a clear stand on providing security to every citizen.
He said that the CAA will provide citizenship to minorities of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan nor to strip off citizenship of any Muslim living in India.
