Adityanath again: Blames Muslims for riots in UP
  • 5 years ago
BJP MP Yogi Adityanath has intensified his attack on Muslims, blaming the community for all the riots that have taken place in Uttar Pradesh, where his party is gearing up for bypolls in 11 seats.

Adityanath, who is among the three party leaders entrusted with leading the BJP campaign for the upcoming bypolls in Uttar Pradesh, said on Aap Ki Adalat programme on India TV that there are three categories of places where communal riots occur.

“In places where there are 10 to 20 per cent minorities, stray communal incidents take place. Where there are 20 to 35 per cent of them, serious communal riots take place and where they are more than 35 per cent, there is no place for non-Muslims,” he said.

Justifying his provocative speeches in the past, in which he said if a Hindu is killed 10 Muslims will be killed in retaliation, the Gorakhpur MP said, “Whatever I had then said was conditional. If the other is a danav (devil), not a manav (human), then one has to reply. If I have a mala (rosary) in one hand, I also carry a bhala (javelin) in the other. As a sanyasi, I can also punish the evil elements.”

The BJP MP has been under attack after two CDs recently surfaced in which he is shown making inflammatory speeches. “If you (minorities) kill one of us, do not expect that you will remain safe. If the other side doesn’t stay in peace, we’ll teach them how to stay in peace in the language they understand,” he said.

His party leaders refused to comment on the remarks. One BJP leader, however, said Adityanath’s comments would “embarrass” the party leaders. “One has to draw a line somewhere,” he said.
