Yogi govt takes exemplary actions in Lakhimpur Kheri violence; CO, SHO and SIs suspended

Lucknow, Castigating the Samajwadi Party leader and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav for his baseless comments, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said it is not a surprise for us that SP’s politics is based on lies and fallacy.

“Akhilesh did not take a second to blame CM Yogi without knowing the fact that the person who was indulged in the violence and indecency with a woman in Lakhimpur Kheri was not of BJP but was a supporter of an independent party,” said Dinesh Sharma adding that “Akhilesh’s politics is always confined to Twitter far away from the realities and issues.”
Meanwhile, UP police has suspended 6 polic officers in the incident , who are CO Mohammadi Abhay Pratap Mall, SHO Adarsh Kumar Singh, Inspector Hanuman Prasad Yadav, Sub inspector Durbesh Gangwar, Sub inspector Ugrasen Singh and sub inspector Mahesh Pratap.

Dr Sharma went on to say “In an exemplary action, the Circle Officer, SHO and three SIs of Pasgawa Police Station, Lakhimpur Kheri have been suspended while the accused Yash Verma and Brij Singh are arrested.”

The Deputy CM said that CM Yogi has already instructed to take stringent action on an immediate basis with a zero-tolerance policy and urged to conduct the Block Pramukh election peacefully.
Reacting to the incident, Sharma said that on the instructions of CM Yogi all the necessary actions by confiscating the weapons of those demonstrating arms and weapons have been taken.
Dr Sharma said that all the elections conducted during the regime of the Yogi Government were held with full transparency and fairness. The people of the state have seen the extremes of bullying and torment in the SP Government.

Stating that even after going away from power, SP leaders are not deterring from their antics, Sharma said, “Why does Akhilesh not understand that in BJP Government, anarchy, hooliganism, and criminals are sent to jails instead of getting protection.”
