BJP MP Yogi Adityanath
Addressing a rally in Sahibabad on Sunday, BJP MP Yogi Adityanath said that the situation in the western part of Uttar Pradesh is similar to that of the Kashmir Valley on 19 January 1990. Lakhs of Kashmiri Pundits were forced to flee from the Kashmir valley and hundreds of them raped and murdered by Islamic extremists in 1990, he said, adding that he finds a similar situation developing in the region. Ghaziabad MP V K Singh also attended the rally.
“Is Kairana not an issue? Is Kashmir not an issue? If this country’s majority, Hindus, are tortured, is it not an issue? But if a thorn pricks the foot of someone from the minority community, it becomes an issue. This politics is strange,” he added.
Adityanath praised US President Donald Trump for standing against Islamic terrorism. “Can the Congress, SP, BSP, RLD try to show such courage”, he asked, later adding that they can’t “because they have turned this into a votebank”. He also applauded Russian President Vladimir Putin for standing up against the demand of special status to the Muslim minority in his country. “Similar action is needed to contain terror activities in this country”, he said.
