New Delhi, Dec 6 (NationPress) BJP National Secretary Manjinder Singh Sirsa has expressed his approval of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's recent decision to seek compensation for the repair of public property that was damaged during the violence in Sambhal.
Sirsa urged for this policy to be adopted across the country, stressing that individuals who vandalize government property should face the repercussions of their actions.
During a review of the law and order situation on Wednesday, Yogi Adityanath condemned the unrest in Sambhal and instructed authorities to ensure that no rioters evade justice.
He firmly stated that anarchy would not be tolerated anywhere in Uttar Pradesh.
In an interview with IANS, Sirsa backed CM Adityanath's position, asserting, “When chaos ensues, and property is destroyed in the name of religion — actions that contradict the true teachings of any faith — those responsible must also pay for the damages incurred. This is a vital step towards maintaining accountability.
Sirsa further proposed that this approach should be adopted throughout India.
“No individual is entitled to damage property during protests. Those who engage in such violence should be held accountable, and this policy should be implemented nationwide,” he emphasized.
The BJP leader also commented on CM Adityanath's comparison of the recent violence in Sambhal to the unrest in Bangladesh.
Sirsa concurred with Adityanath's observations, drawing connections to historical conflicts and the struggles faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh.
He cautioned that the current violence in the country is reminiscent of a dark chapter in history, likening it to the destructive actions of historical figures such as Babur and Aurangzeb.
Sirsa also commented on reports regarding Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Akhilesh Yadav being displeased with the Congress concerning seating arrangements.
Sirsa claimed that Yadav was merely trying to attract media attention, stating, "He needs excuses to remain relevant," Sirsa concluded.
