Saugata Roy Criticizes Yogi Adityanath: Calls Out Communal Tensions in Uttar Pradesh

Trinamool Congress MP Saugata Roy criticized Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for claiming Muslims are the safest in the state. Roy accused Adityanath of communal intentions, highlighting recent tensions. Adityanath countered, emphasizing security for all, citing halted riots since his party's rule began.

In a sharp critique, Trinamool Congress MP Saugata Roy lashed out at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his recent remarks about the safety of Muslims in the state. Saugata accused Adityanath of harboring communal biases aimed at demolishing mosques to make way for temples, disputing the CM's assertion of universal safety.

{@Yogi reaffirmed his commitment to communal harmony, stating that both Hindus and Muslims can coexist peacefully. He highlighted the absence of riots since the BJP's administration took over in 2017, advocating for a secure environment where a single Muslim family could thrive among numerous Hindu families without concern.}

{@However, Yogi questioned the feasibility of the reverse scenario, citing historical examples from countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan. Despite these criticisms, he insists on promoting peace and equality, underlining constant discussions with the state administration to maintain law and order, especially during major religious festivities like Ram Navami and Eid.}
