The Uttar Pradesh government has reportedly sent a report on the Dadri lynching case to the Ministry of Home Affairs in Delhi. “He has no right to remain on a constitutional post”.

Facing flak for taking the Dadri issue to the United Nations, senior UP minister Mohd Azam Khan today hit back at his political opponents asking where were the “thekedaars” of the society when Badaun case and those related to child labour were raised before the UN.
The Centre had, while expressing concern over the lynching of Iqlakh, written to the UP government on October 1 seeking a detailed report on the incident. He said, “I don’t have any issue with Akhilesh Yadav announcing Rs 45 lakh compensation for Akhlaq’s family”. “It seems that Azam Khan is a mentally retarded man. Dadri lies within boundaries of UP”.
Mohammad Akhlaq was killed by a mob in Uttar Pradesh’s Dadri over beef rumours. “We need to rise above these kinds of incidents because they certainly don’t give a good name as far as the country is concerned”.
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. His son Danish is still struggling for his life in the local hospital, while their whole family became target of the violence and grief stroke by the loss of their loved one.
A few progressive and like-minded persons on Wednesday evening staged a protest in front of the Town Hall condemning the recent atrocities against dalits and minorities in Uttar Pradesh.
As a crane was requisitioned, curious onlookers, mostly Hindu’s pitied the cow but did not muster enough courage to jump into the well to tie a strap with a hook around the cow’s neck and tag it to the crane. At the same time, the PM asked the people to ignore controversial statements made by politicians, saying “they are doing so for political gains”.
