Law and order situation in UP grim: Akhilesh

Sunday, 13 October 2019 | PNS | Lucknow

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav said that the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh was so grim that anyone could get killed anywhere in the state.

He was referring to the killing of a youth in an alleged police encounter in Jhansi.

Akhilesh Yadav, who was speaking to the media at Lohia Park in Lucknow on the occasion of Dr Ram Manohar Lohia’s death anniversary, said, “The country can progress only on the principles of Dr Ram Manohar Lohia. Anyone can get killed anywhere in Uttar Pradesh; if not by the police then surely by the criminals.”

The former chief minister took a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party government in UP, saying that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had been fasting for eight days while there was serious violence in the jail in Gorakhpur, his hometown, for eight hours.

Akhilesh Yadav further said, “The role of police in the encounter of Pushpendra Yadav in Jhansi is dubious. Police should reveal the facts and accept that Pushpendra was first murdered and then the encounter was staged.”

According to UP Police, Pushpendra Yadav died in an encounter with the cops but Akhilesh Yadav has time and again suspected the role of the police in the youth’s killing.

“Police should explain where exactly Pushpendra was killed and how come there was blood on the back seat of his car,” the SP chief added.

“The government has also failed on other fronts as inflation is sky-rocketing due to which the common man is suffering,” he said.
