New Delhi [India], November 25 (ANI): Amid ongoing tensions in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal, senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Ram Gopal Yadav on Monday held the local district administration responsible for the violence over a survey of Shahi Jama Masjid and said that he has given notice regarding a discussion on the issue in Parliament, which commenced its Winter Session today.
If judges start giving such decision without notifying the other party the whole country would be under fire, the Rajya Sabha MP said, claiming that only three deaths are being reported in the violence in Sambhal when there were many more.
“Many people have been killed, the district administration is completely responsible for this. The survey had already happened. But the District Magistrate again went at 6 in the morning. The judge didn’t call the other party. This doesn’t happen. Agar iss tarah se hoga, iss tarah se judge failse karne lage to saare desh main aag laga denge (If this happens and judges give such decisions, the entire country would be under fire),” the Samajwadi Party MP told ANI before attending the first winter session of Parliament.
“I have given notice and will raise this issue in the House. The House must discuss this issue. Only three deaths are reported, there will be many more deaths than this. They were shooting directly; you must have seen it. The police were telling to shoot,” Yadav said
