Lucknow, June 14, 2022 (PPI-OT):In reference to the ongoing drive of demolishing houses of Muslim community members by the Bharatiya Janata Party government across India in the garb of anti-blasphemy protests, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) President Mayawati has urged the judiciary to take cognisance on such illegal acts

Mayawati in a series of tweets blamed the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh for creating an atmosphere of fear among the minorities and questioned the bulldozing of their houses. This is the first time that the BSP has come out openly in support of minorities regarding the government action in Prayagraj and other places against those allegedly involved in arson and rioting during the protest against comments about Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Mayawati wrote: “By targeting a particular community, by bulldozing their homes and other malicious aggressive actions, the state government is suppressing the citizen’s right to protest and creating an atmosphere of fear and terror, which is unfair and unjust. The courts must take cognizance of the faulty action of targeting the entire family by demolishing their houses.”

She further said: “While the root cause of the problem is Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal, due to which the honour of the country has been adversely affected leading to widespread violence. Then why action was not taken against them and why the government ridiculed the rule of law? The government not sending both the accused to jail is grossly biased and unfortunate.” She further demanded immediate arrest of both the BJP leaders.
