‘They want to trigger riots again’: Yogi slams Shivpal Yadav over Azam-would-be-home minister remark
Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has criticized senior Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Yadav for suggesting Azam Khan would become the state's Home Minister if their party came to power. During an event on Partition in Lucknow, Adityanath lambasted Yadav's remarks, stating they indicated a desire to incite more riots.
The Chief Minister urged understanding of the Partition's circumstances, the culpability of those involved, and the ongoing repercussions. He also addressed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), accusing opposition parties of creating confusion and organizing protests against the law, which provided citizenship to persecuted minorities who fled from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.
Adityanath accused Congress and SP of using vote-bank politics to oppose the CAA. He highlighted the ongoing struggles of displaced families and criticized the Congress for protecting enemy property and distributing it to its own supporters.
