Is all well in saffron clad chief minister Yogi Aditya Nath’s Lucknow capital?

The capital of Uttar Pradesh, lucknow seems to have become the crime oriented capital where criminals and shooters have no terror of the police and the law of the land.

In just less than a week’s time three incidents of abominable murders and kidnapping has taken place despite the hard fact that Lucknow houses the CM’s secretariat, police headquarter and the Assembly secretariat.

The allegedly encounter friendly chief minister Adityanath Yogi ( in order to free the state of hardened criminals and murdurers,) also operates from here and boasts of controlling the law and order in the state.

While on the one hand there had been 67 encounter killings out of the several hundred encounter attempts made by the state police in various parts of the state injuring about 700 criminals etc there does not seem to be any indication of crime rate coming down in the state particularly at Lucknow, the state’s capital.

In just less than a week, unfortunate incidents of killing spree have created terror and sensation in the minds n hearts of the common public who are feeling totally insecure and vulnerable after the brutal killing of the Apple company’s techie Vivek Tiwari by a policemen namely Satyendra Chowdhary, a double murder of two brothers in broad day light and a kidnapping of a 65 year old senior citizen businessman for ransom , with the people’s supposed custodian, the UP police nowhere to be seen when all the above incidents occured.

Not only this but as per the news being shown on television channels the saffron party’s students wing has allegedly burnt the hostels at Allahabad university campus as being charged by the affected students whose clothes, important books, n everything have been burnt leaving them of nowhere.

In addition to all this, the police staff especially the constables on duty in Lucknow had protested in favour of the killer cop Satyendra Chowdhary during duty hours wearing black badges against the government’s conduct rules, never ever happened in Lucknow or any other part of the country. Two erring cops are involved in Tiwari’s unprovoked murder are currently in Jail under the murder charges.

This is really shocking and uncalled for that despite umpteen claims of the Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath about improving the law and order situation and the encounter spree going on, in just less than a week’s time, three incidents of despicable murders and broad day light kidnapping in the state’s capital have taken place with the hardened criminals and murdurers least bothered for the punitive actions or apprehensive of the law enforcing agencies or the law of the land.

If this is the condition of the deteriorating law and order situation in the state capital, one can imagine what would be the state of affairs in terms of crime n law and order situation in other parts of UP where alleged crime, kidnappings,child trafficking, snatchings, rapes n women assaults and killing spree have almost become the order of the day.

While the chief minister had already sanctioned Rs 30 lakh as financial compensation including a government job to the next of the kin of the deceased Vivek Tiwari and accorded full assurance of bringing the culprits to justice it is necessary that the worsening law n order situation improves in UP substantially as no amount of money could compensate for a death of a person in any situation.

The opposition parties in Uttar Pradesh especially the Congress, BSP and the Samajwadi parties have taken the BJP chief minister to task by accusing him and the Uttar Pradesh police of killing the innocents in the name of police encounters in several cases.

The traumatic mothers of Mustaquin and Naushad who were killed in encounter two weeks’ ago in Aligarh had held a press conference last week in Press club of India with the support of Campaign against Hate organisation and described as to how the Aligarh police have allegedly killed the innocents youths in their twenties in a fake encounter despite their having no criminal background.These parties have now given the encounters a caste and community twist saying that majority of those being killed are either youths of the minority community or the backwards.
