Pawan Kheda said, “No citizen is ‘safe’ in Uttar Pradesh under the rule of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who gave the condemnable slogan of ‘Bantenge to Katenge’. The way videos of direct firing on protesters have surfaced in Sambhal, it is This is the result of a well-planned conspiracy by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh). Western Uttar Pradesh has been a symbol of goodwill and harmony for years. His life was taken and many people were injured.”
He blamed BJP and RSS for disturbing the harmony of Sambhal and said that the lives of the deceased have been taken by the Yogi administration.

The Congress leader said that not taking any action against the unruly elements accompanying the survey team makes it clear that after the by-elections in the state, the Yogi government has further intensified the politics of violence and hatred. Questions are being raised on the role of police and administration, because many innocent people have lost their lives and more than 24 people have been injured in this violence.
