"Governance in UP is going well": Arjun Ram Meghwal on Bareilly stone pelting incident

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], September 27 (ANI): A day after the Bareilly stone pelting incident, Union Law and Justice Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal assured that the law and order situation in the state is fully under control.

"Law and order is under control in UP. The governance in UP is going on well," Meghwal told ANI on Saturday.
A group of people pelted stones during a protest after Friday prayers in Bareilly, prompting the police to resort to a lathi charge and detain several of them.
Protestors had gathered outside the Ala Hazrat Dargah and the residence of Ittehad-e-Millat Council chief Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan, holding placards that read "I Love Mohammad."
Officials said police were conducting a flag march in the area when some miscreants came onto the streets shouting slogans and pelted stones.
Earlier today, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi, the President of All India Muslim Jamaat, called for peace following the recent protests outside the Ala Hazrat Dargah and Ittehad-e-Millat Council chief Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan's house in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly.
Maulana Bareilvi said that upholding peace and not hurting anyone are the only ways to love the Prophet.
He told ANI, "The incident is unfortunate. Such incidents should not occur on either side. I appeal to everyone to uphold peace. The only way to love Paigambar-e-Islam is not to hurt anyone, neither through words nor through actions and uphold peace. He has given a message of peace to the entire world."
After the protesters pelted stones and clashed with the police, Maulana Bareilvi urged the Muslims to avoid conflicts with the police and administration.
"So, I urge all Muslims to maintain law and order, not take law into their hands and not cause conflicts with anyone neither with the Police nor with the Administration... Follow what Paigambar-e-Islam said and the path He showed. This is the biggest love," he said.
Meanwhile, locals said that the protest was peaceful, and it took a violent turn after police lathi-charged at the protestors. (ANI)
