'Nurturing mafia & insulting nat'l heroes SP-Cong policy'

LUCKNOW: Expressing his dismay over the Mainpuri incident in which over 100 Samajwadi Party workers allegedly vandalised a statue of Maharana Pratap, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has given assurance to the people that the culprits won't be spared under any circumstances.
CM Yogi said, "On the one hand, the SP and Congress patronize, encourage and glorify the mafia, rioters and terrorists, and on the other, insult national heroes
He said that the Samajwadi Party, after coming to power in 2012, made a malicious attempt to withdraw the cases of terrorists who attacked Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, Sankatmochan Temple in Kashi, Lucknow courts as well as the CRPF camp in Rampur."Recently, when a notorious mafia don died, the SP's national president himself visited his house to offer his condolences," he said.
"How did he behave with Ram devotees during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement in Ayodhya? What was the conduct of Samajwadi Party on the death of Kalyan Singh? Their disrespectful and contemptuous behaviour towards the statue of national hero Maharana Pratap on Saturday is highly condemnable. I condemn this act," he said.
He added: "This conduct is not exclusive to the Samajwadi Party; similar incidents occurred with Rahul Gandhi in Maharashtra. When a supporter offered him a statue of Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj, he declined it. It's evident they won't honour national heroes but will instead exalt terrorists, Pakistan, and criminal elements, posing a threat to the safety of women and businessmen. The nation is observing, and they will receive a fitting response in the upcoming elections."
"Naturally, Congress, SP and the National Conference have no national agenda. Their family is their agenda. This is an alliance of self-interest. These parties are regularly making comments which the enemies of India will like. They want to create division and discord in the country. For narrow political gains, they are compromising on national security and integrity," he said.
Referring to a recent statement by National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah, who slammed the Centre for the abrogation of Article 370, the CM said that the development of Jammu & Kashmir was finally being linked with the mainstream. "It is time for family politics to end. People's representatives are being elected in the right way now. Those who have lost the ground from beneath their feet are disappointed. Pakistan is also happy with their statements, so they are releasing videos supporting these politicians," he said.
