State’s law & order on life support system: Congress

Lucknow: Cornering the Uttar Pradesh government over law and order situation, Congress party leaders on Monday said that the 'law and order situation in UP was on ventilator'. “UP has become the hotspot of crimes against women, particularly dalit girls. The rule of law has gone for a toss,” said Dheeraj Gurjar, All India Congress Committee secretary.CLP leader Aradhana Mishra Mona said that the surge in incidents of violence, rape, gang rape, murder, harassment of women only indicate that UP had become a shelter home for criminals. “The incidents of heinous crimes from dozens of districts, like Lucknow, Lakhimpur, Sitapur, Gorakhpur, Agra, Pratapgarh and Kushinagar, exemplify the abysmal situation. What happened to BJP government’s Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign? The truth of the touted Yogi model is a nightmare for girls,” she said. Party MLC Deepak Singh advised the chief minister not to get swayed with the media management of his Team-11.
