The U.P. government today submitted its report to the central government about the horrific attack on Mohammed Akhlaq and his family over allegations that he had killed a calf and they were consuming beef. “Hindus and Muslims should work together to fight poverty”, said PM Modi against backdrop of Dadri incident. “Mulayam Singh Yadav’s patriotism is at stake now”, the Sena said.

The role of the Uttar Pradesh Samajwadi Party Government under Akhilesh Yadav should also be put under scanner.

Adding more fuel to the fire, Bharatiya Janata Party MP Sakshi Maharaj has said, “We won’t remain silent if somebody tries to kill our mother”.

Owaisi made it clear that their fight is with governments like the SP government who are failing to fulfill their constitutional duty to protect people. “Cow slaughtering is on top in Uttar Pradesh”. Moreover, calling victims at his house, instead of visiting the incident spot further goes on to show the coldness of his regime on such serious burning issues.

“Bihar people have nothing to do with beef ban or cow slaughter”.

The party, however, questioned the narrative and said that just because anyone is a BJP sympathiser does not make the party involved in an incident. The cultural minister says it is an accident. “Start respecting human life, the image of the country will automatically improve in the world”, he said.
