NEW DELHI — The All India Muslim Majlis e Mushawarat (AIMMM), a confederation of Muslim organisations and personalities of eminence, has said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is directly responsible for the violence in Bahraich. It expressed its deep concerns over the violence that has been going on since Sunday in Mehsi and other places of Bahraich with the support of the police.
Feroze Ahmed, president of AIMMM said that the social fabric of the country has been seriously under danger by the politics of communal hatred and violence. He said that the Uttar Pradesh police are supporting the rioters.
Ahmad said that the acts of violence that took place in Bahraich were not accidental, they were planned actions. First, there was a riot and now innocent people are being oppressed, he said.
In another development, Ahmad, 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 that the court’s remark that chanting Jai Shri Ram inside the mosque does not hurt anyone’s religious sentiments was regrettable. He said that miscreants are encouraged by the same behaviour of police and judges.
