A minister created a flutter in the Assembly by claiming that the Opposition orchestrated kidnapping of a Class XI student of a prestigious school in lucknow to defame the government on the day it celebrated its first anniversary in office.
law minister Brijesh Pathak intervened during Question Hour to declare that a Class XI boy was kidnapped and the police recovered the boy within four hours. “During quizzing, kidnapper Santosh Yadav revealed that the kidnapping was done at the behest of the Opposition. The main aim of the crime was to defame the government,” Pathak said.
The Opposition reacted and said this was a serious allegation levelled by a cabinet minister and this should be discussed in detail.
leader of Opposition Ram Govind Chaudhary said that they believed what the minister said as he was a Brahmin. “The government should expose the conspiracy of the Opposition,” Chaudhary said demanding a debate on the charge.
leader of BSP legislature party lalji Verma and Congress legislature party leader Ajay Kumar lallu too demanded a debate on the issue.
Speaker Hridaya Narain Dixit did not allow the discussion and asked the member to go ahead with Question hour.
Earlier, leader of Opposition raised the issue of murder of six people in Allahabad on Monday and claimed that as the government was celebrating its first anniversary in office, criminals were playing ‘khoon ki holi’ in Allahabad.
