Terming the stone-pelting and violence across the state on Friday as “peaceful demonstrations”, Samajwadi party chief Akhilesh Yadav has condemned the demolition of the house of Javed Ahmed alias Javed Pump, the mastermind behind the violence in Prayagraj on June 10.
“What kind of justice is this? The leader who is behind all the trouble and vitiated the atmosphere and brought bad name to the country at global level is comfortable under tight security while the peaceful protestors are being bulldozed and penalised without the due process of law. Indian Constitution, culture and religion forbids this kind of action by the government,” Akhilesh Yadav said in a tweet on Sunday.
He added, “The people staging peaceful protest demonstrations are being penalised and their houses are being bulldozed without any inquiry and investigation into the charges against them.”
Akhilesh Yadav also shared a video along with the tweet in which the riot accused is being beaten with lathis by policemen in the police station. “If this kind of justice is dispensed at havalat (police lockup) then law and justice will lose credibility. UP is number one in custodial deaths, human rights violation and atrocities against Dalits,” the SP chief said.
The Prayagraj administration, on Sunday, demolished the house of the Atala arson and stone-pelting mastermind, Javed Ahmed alias Javed Pump, in the old area amid tight security.
