Rampur : Defending UP government's decision to not permit BJP chief Rajnath Singh to visit riot-hit Muzaffranagar, senior SP leader Mohammed Azam Khan today said that it was done for the “peace and tranquillity” in the area.
“Rajnath Singh's entry was stopped on the basis of a report of the administration which could not be overlooked or neglected in the best interest of peace and tranquillity of the sensitive area,” said Parliamentary Affairs Minister Khan.
“Rajnath ji has himself occupied the pivotal post (Chief Minister) in Uttar Pradesh and so he should realise what the government and administration should do on the occasions when the law and order of the state is at stake,” Khan said.
Dismissing the controversy surrounding yoga guru Baba Ramdev's detention at the London airport, Khan said, “Baba has created a suspicious image for himself after he fled the Ramlila Maidan in Delhi under the garb of a woman. So if security persons in Britain detained him on suspicion what is the point to condemn them.”
