Politics is still going on over the encounter of a person named Mangesh Yadav in Sultanpur two days ago. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has raised questions about the encounter several times. When Akhilesh accused the UP government of taking action based on caste, the ruling party also retaliated. The round of allegations and counter-allegations between the ruling and the opposition was still going on when Rahul Gandhi also raised questions on the Sultanpur encounter. Rahul Gandhi said, the blood stains on the uniform should be cleaned. Rahul Gandhi wrote on his social media account X, in BJP-ruled states, the ‘law and constitution’ are being violated by those who have the responsibility to enforce them. The encounter of Mangesh Yadav in Sultanpur has once again proved that the BJP does not believe in the ‘Rule of Law’. The tears of Mangesh’s family are asking a question to the whole country – who will live and who will not, will the court or the police decide this?
Rahul Gandhi further wrote, a professional force like STF is being run like a ‘criminal gang’ under the BJP government, on which the silence of the central government is their clear consent to this ‘Thoko Niti’. Dozens of encounters of UP STF are under question. Has any action been taken against any of those officers till date? After all, who is protecting them and why? Embracing the Constitution in front of cameras is just a pretense, when your own governments are openly flouting it. All the suspicious encounters in Uttar Pradesh should be investigated impartially and justice should be done. The blood stains on the uniform should be cleaned.
