Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 4 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Minister JPS Rathore on Saturday slammed the Samajwadi Party-led delegation enroute to Bareilly after police stopped them at the Ghazipur border and appealed to the people to remain in their homes as the situation is completely under control.
Rathore told ANI, "The situation is completely under control. Some people tried to spoil the atmosphere... The police took very good action... Many explosives, including petrol bombs and illegal weapons, were found. They had collected bricks and stones in some of their homes so that they could harm the police administration and innocent people by throwing them at them. The police have saved many lives. Today, peace and order are maintained."
He lashed out at the Samajwadi Party MP delegation for going to Bareilly to "shed tears" for those "terrorists" and warned that no one would be allowed to disturb the peace of the area.
"I want to ask them, for whom are you going to shed tears? You want to shed tears for those terrorists, rioters?... They are going completely under the same plan that they wanted the atmosphere to deteriorate... No one will be allowed to spoil the atmosphere of Bareilly. Stay in your homes, and the people of Bareilly are also living peacefully in their homes."
