Lucknow: There has been a political earthquake in Uttar Pradesh regarding Akhilesh Yadav’s visit to Ayodhya. While the BJP is attacking attack, the Samajwadi Party’s camp is also fully active. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party MP Sanatan Pandey has created a new controversy by giving a statement. Sanatan Pandey has said that Mulayam Singh Yadav did the right thing by firing on kar sevaks in Ayodhya. They had fired bullets in Ayodhya to protect the Constitution, how did the people of the Sangh reach where there was a stay of the court? He said that the court had banned the movement of anyone at the disputed site.
‘Ordered to fire to save the Constitution’
Samajwadi Party leader Sanatan Pandey said that for 35 years i.e. since 1991, they (BJP) have been criticizing Mulayam Singh Yadav and claimed that he had ordered the firing on Ram devotees. They have used this narrative to mislead the public. But tell me, who ordered the firing on others during his own reign just recently? Who had the government in the state? Whose government was in power at the Centre? If Netaji (Mulayam Singh Yadav) had ordered the firing to protect the Constitution of India, it was the right move.
‘There could have been a civil war in India’
He further said that the Indian Army was deployed at that time. The main responsibility was to ensure that no one could reach the disputed structure, which they call the Ram temple, which was already on hold by the court. Then how did those people, i.e. Ram devotees, reach there? It was also the responsibility of the central government and the local administration responsible for maintaining law and order. If the firing had not been ordered, the mosque could have been destroyed. Such an incident could have led to a civil war in India, just like when temples were destroyed in other countries. Therefore, the order to fire was given only to protect the Constitution of India.
