Uttar Pradesh tops in ease of committing crime, not business: Akhilesh Yadav

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has reiterated that Uttar Pradesh has turned into a state which tops in “ease of committing crime and not business”.
In a statement on Thursday, he again attacked the ruling BJP over what he described as a spurt in cases of sensational crime.
Listing a number of incidents of crime that have been taking place, the SP president said: “Criminals are having a free run in the state while the police are looking the other way.”
The SP president has now started to reach out to crime survivors and families of victims.
He met the victim and her family in Lalitpur on Wednesday evening and sought protection for the family.
“Police are turning a blind eye to heart wrenching appeals of the crime victims and the worse is that the men in khaki are now being accused of criminally exploiting them,” he said, citing the Lalitpur rape case in which a Dalit minor was allegedly kidnapped and gang-raped and when she went to the police station to lodge an FIR, she was sexually assaulted by the station in charge.
“In its second run of the Yogi Adityanath government, the crime situation is twice as bad as it was during the party’s first stint in power and needs urgent attention,” he said.
Taking a dig at the state government for using bulldozers to raze illegal property of criminals and crime accused, Akhilesh said such actions were not being initiated against those individuals who are close to the ruling BJP and as a result of which– despite the use of bulldozers– the UP police has failed to reign in crime and criminals.

15 civilians killed in Pakistan’s heavy shelling along J&K LoC

Jammu/Srinagar, May 8: Fifteen people, including a soldier, were killed and over 40 others injured in mortar shelling by the Pakistan Army on the Line of Control (LoC), which continued for the 14th consecutive day on Thursday.

We also stand in solidarity with all victims of the targeted attacks on innocent civilians in #Poonch Sector.”
J&K administration has started shifting people from vulnerable areas along the LoC to safer places as tensions between the two countries reached a new high.
District hospitals in Poonch and Baramulla have received a large number of injured civilians, and special arrangements have been made at the government medical college hospital in Jammu to treat people needing specialised treatment.
All schools, colleges and other educational institutions have been closed in Jammu, Poonch, Rajouri, Samba, Kathua and Baramulla, Kupwara and Gurez.

The entire country was outraged by the cowardly act of terrorists. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said in his first reaction to Pahalgam killings that the terrorists, their handlers and backers would he chased and hunted down to the ends of the earth.
India announced a slew of measures against Pakistan, including the deportation of its nationals from Indian soil, closing of Attari-Wagah border crossing, throwing the Indus Water Treaty into abeyance, closing its airspace for Pakistani commercial flights and cancellation of all trade and cultural exchanges with Pakistan.
On Wednesday, India also closed the Kartarpur border crossing point on the international border in Punjab.
The decision to give operational freedom to the armed forces came after the PM had a series of meetings with the defence minister, national security advisor, chief of defence staff (CDS), and chiefs of the army, navy and the Air Force.
Meanwhile, to send a powerful message to terrorists, their overground workers (OGWs) and sympathisers, security forces have demolished the houses of ten terrorists. On April 25, two houses belonging to Adil Hussain Thokar and Asif Sheikh were demolished in the Tral and Bijbehara areas. Both these terrorists were part of the LeT terrorist group involved in the Pahalgam killings.
On April 28, the J&K Assembly unanimously condemned the dastardly terrorist attack and passed a resolution on this.
