Lucknow: Politics has intensified since the public murder of former Samajwadi Party (SP) MP and mafia leader Atiq Ahmed. Various opposition parties have targeted the Yogi government over the murder of Atiq Ahmed. Former Uttar Pradesh CM and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati tweeted from her official Twitter handle that UP has now become an encounter state.
BSP supremo Mayawati tweeted on Sunday morning (April 16) that Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf, brought from Gujarat jail and Bareilly jail, were openly shot dead last night in police custody in Prayagraj. Like the heinous murder of Umesh Pal, it raises many serious question marks on the law, order, and functioning of the UP government.
Former CM Mayawati has written in another tweet that it would be better if the Honourable Supreme Court took proper action on its own after taking cognizance of this very serious and very worrying incident discussed all over the country. Anyway, instead of "rule of law by law" in Uttar Pradesh, how appropriate is it to become an encounter state now? Atiq's wife Shaista Parveen had recently left Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM and joined BSP.
