After this, politics has started intensifying in the state, Samajwadi Party’s national president Akhilesh Yadav has raised questions on the Uttar Pradesh government regarding Asad’s encounter, referring to the era of fake encounters in Uttar Pradesh.
He said, ‘false encounters By doing this, the BJP government is trying to divert attention from the real issues. The BJP does not believe in the court at all. Today’s and recent encounters should also be thoroughly investigated and the culprits should not be spared. Power does not have the right to decide what is right or wrong. BJP is against brotherhood..
झूठे एनकाउंटर करके भाजपा सरकार सच्चे मुद्दों से ध्यान भटकाना चाह रही है। भाजपाई न्यायालय में विश्वास ही नहीं करते हैं। आजके व हालिया एनकाउंटरों की भी गहन जाँच-पड़ताल हो व दोषियों को छोड़ा न जाए। सही-गलत के फ़ैसलों का अधिकार सत्ता का नहीं होता है।
भाजपा भाईचारे के ख़िलाफ़ है।
