Lucknow: Breaking his silence on the communal
clashes in Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi
Adityanath today warned of strict action against the
perpetrators of violence and said those indulging in anarchy
will not be spared.
His remarks came after days of violence in Kasganj where
clashes broke out on last Friday in which one person was
killed and two others were injured.
"Our government is committed to provide security to each
and every citizen. Those indulging in anarchy will not be
spared," he told mediapersons here.
The chief minister warned that strict action will be taken
against the perpetrators of violence and no guilty will be
allowed to go scot free.
At least three shops, two buses and a car were torched
after Chandan Gupta was killed in clashes following stone-
pelting by a mob on a motorcycle rally taken out to celebrate
Republic Day.
As many as 118 people have been arrested in connection
with the violence following which security forces are
maintaining strict vigil.
The incident drew flak from Governor Ram Naik who
described it as a "blot" on Uttar Pradesh and said it was a
"matter of shame".
