'No one died due to police bullets': Yogi Adityanath says anti-CAA protesters had 'intention to die,' claims 'big conspiracy' behind agitation

Firstpost  

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday courted controversy when he said that the casualties during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act in Uttar Pradesh had died due to “bullets from rioters” and not from the state police. In an address to the state Assembly, Adityanath referred to the protests against the contentious law that turned violent on 19 and 20 December, and said, “No one has died from police bullets. In an apparent reference to former chief minister and Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav, Adityanath recalled his “ladke, ladke hain ” remarks and ridiculed his party for speaking about women empowerment. The chief minister then trained his guns at the Congress, referring to the infamous “tandoor case” in which former Youth Congress leader Sushil Sharma spent 23 years in the Tihar jail for killing his wife Naina Sahni and then trying to dispose of her body in a tandoor in 1995 on the roof of erstwhile 4-star hotel Ashok Yatri Niwas in New Delhi.
