Pakistan, China cannot afford misadventures in BJP rule: Yogi Adityanath

Yogi

Rourkela | Accusing the Congress of adopting a “soft approach” towards terrorists and naxals, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday that China and Pakistan no longer indulge in adventurism as India now has a strong government led by the BJP.

Addressing a rally in this steel city, the firebrand BJP leader also said that “infiltration by the Chinese army, a regular affair during the Congress-led UPA government, ended after Narendra Modi became the prime minister”.

“Similarly, Pakistan was chopping off the heads of our soldiers on the border during the UPA rule. Now, with Modi as the prime minister, China and Pakistan cannot afford to indulge in misadventures,” he said.

Referring to India’s response to the Pulwama terror strike, the senior BJP leader said, “Pakistan was given a fitting reply after the killing of 40 CRPF jawans”.

“India’s action was not just confined to the destruction of terror camps. It was a strong step towards breaking the backbone of Pakistan,” he said, adding that the BJP has “zero tolerance” towards terrorism”.

Coming down heavily on the Congress, Adityanath alleged that the country has failed to take giants strides on road to development due to the soft approach of the grand old party towards terrorists and naxalites.

“A strong Modi wave was sweeping across the country,” he said, urging the people of Odisha to vote for a double- engine government of the BJP at the Centre and the state.

SC takes note of alleged hate speeches made by Mayawati, Adityanath

New Delhi | The Supreme Court Monday took note of the alleged hate speeches made by BSP supremo Mayawati and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath during poll campaign and sought to know from the Election Commission the action initiated against them so far.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi summoned a representative of the EC for Tuesday while agreeing to examine the poll panel’s contention that it has limited legal power to deal with hate speeches of politicians during electioneering.

The bench referred to submissions of the EC that they can issue notice, then advisory and finally lodge a complaint against an errant politician for violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by giving hate speeches based on caste and religion during campaign.

“The EC says they are toothless. They say that they first issue a notice, then advisory and then complain,” the bench said, adding it would examine the aspect relating to poll panel’s power to deal with hate speeches during poll campaign.

During the hearing, the bench asked the counsel for EC as to what action they have taken against Mayawati and Yogi Adityanath for alleged hate speeches.

The counsel appearing for poll panel said that it has already issued notices against the two politicians.

“Tell us what actions you have taken against Mayawati and Yogi Adityanath,” the bench asked and fixed the matter for tomorrow.

The bench was hearing a PIL filed by an NRI Yoga teacher based in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), seeking a direction to the EC to take “strict action” against political parties if their spokespersons make remarks based on caste and religion in the media in the run up to general elections.
