Hitting out at senior minister Md Azam Khan the state unit of BJP said that minister should not play politics on dead bodies and if any BJP member was found involved in recovery of dead bodies in Ganga, action should be taken against him.“The Samajwadi Party Government is making a mockery of dead bodies found floating in Ganga near Unnao. On one hand these have been given a brutal burial using JCBs while on the other minister is trying to play politics on this issue,” BJP state president Dr laxmi kant Bajpayi said in a statement issued here on Thursday.
He said that the minister who claimed to had used money from Dawood Ibrahim and militant organisations to celebrate Mulayam Singh Yadav’s birthday has no decency to show respect towards the dead.“The Samajwadi Party should clarify whether it ascribes to the view points of Md Azam Khan. And if not, action should be taken against him,” he said.
On the other hand BJP spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak said that party was open for any debate on this issue. Sakshi Maharaj has got a police escort and every time he visits Unnao he is surrounded by police that belongs to UP. let the government order a CBI probe into the case so that the truth can come to light,” he said.
Pathak said that Khan should also be interrogated about his information and why he did not alert the government or the police when this was being done. The BJP also ridiculed CM for going for foreign vacantion when over 50 people have died in a hooch tragedy. This is the insensible face of the government,” Dr Chandra Mohan, another BJP spokesman said.
