lambasting the Samajwadi Party Uttar Pradesh Government over party workers’ arrest, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh on Saturday alleged that the Government could not control crime in the State. The Uttar Pradesh Government is responsible for 600 communal riots in the State and is curbing constitutional rights of citizens. In a Press conference, Singh said the Akhilesh Yadav Government could not control land grabbing in Mathura and rapes in Badaun, Mohan lal Ganj and Bulandshahr.
A case was registered against AAP activists for taking out a march and burning an effigy of the UP CM to protest the Bulandshahr gangrape case on Wednesday, police said.
Elaborating on the incident, Singh told mediapersons that police booked AAP volunteers under heinous Sections of the IPC in Ghaziabad.
“Although it was a State-level agitation against the Bulandshahr gangrape case, Ghaziabad DM Nidhi Kesarwani was the only officer who booked the AAP volunteers under heinous Sections of IPC,” he said.
“She has passed illegal orders of restraining agitation at the collectorate by seeking prior permission,” Singh added.
“We will inform the DM about the agitation to be held on August 8 but would not seek permission. She should remember it is a democratic country,” he said.
