Akhilesh Yadav and Congress Welcome Supreme Court’s Decision on Kanwar Yatra Shops
New Delhi [India], July 22: Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision to stay the directive for shops along the Kanwar Yatra route. He used a metaphor, saying, ‘Just like a diya flutters before it blows out, the diya of communal politics is now fluttering.’
Yadav stated, ‘I had said that the Supreme Court should take cognizance of this matter and stop such action. The communal politics that has ended, its diya is now fluttering and so the hearing is being held. The government has taken many such steps because when communal politics ends, these people will do like this…’
He added, ‘Communal politics is going to end. The Bharatiya Janata Party is saddened by it.’
Another Samajwadi Party MP, Dharmendra Yadav, also welcomed the stay from the Supreme Court, saying, ‘This decision was very wrong and I am happy that the SC took cognisance of this decision and given an important judgement. The SC will never allow social harmony in the country to be compromised…’
Congress MP Pramod Tiwari said, ‘This is a victory of the Constitution…I had raised this issue today in Rajya Sabha. So, I welcome this decision of the Supreme Court…’
Congress MP Rajeev Shukla added, ‘I think this is a very good decision by the Supreme Court. This will send a far-reaching message. The harmony and social unity in the country will prevail and this unnecessary controversy that was stoked for political gain will end. I would like to thank the Supreme Court that it has taken a good decision…’
Meanwhile, Akhilesh Yadav also elaborated on his offer to the BJP MLAs in Uttar Pradesh to bring 100 MLAs and form an alternative government in the state. ‘Monsoon offer was to bring 100 and form the government, it is raining right now. Then the winter offer will come. To save their chair, they have asked to put up boards (owners’ names) outside the shops. And the truth is that the governments of Delhi and Lucknow are together in this,’ he said.
