Lucknow: A delegation of BJP leaders on Sunday met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and demanded stern action against those involved in vandalism in the state capital while expressing concern over such incidents.

Kalraj Mishra alleged that the mob not only vandalise parks and damaged statues but also indulged in arson, misbehaved with women and children and manhandled media persons.

He alleged it seemed that members of ISI and SIMI were behind the incident. “The delegation told the CM that UP is a sensitive state and such type of incidents will send a wrong message,” he said.

The BJP leader demanded that those behind the incident should be identified and arrested. “The CM assured that anarchy will not be tolerated and strict measures have been taken,” Mishra said.

He said Akhilesh also assured to get the damaged statues replaced.

Protest against incidents in Myanmar and Assam turned violent here with rampaging mob of protesters indulging in brick batting in parts of the state capital on Friday.

The protest march which started from near the Tile Wali masjid after the Alvida namaz created a ruckus on the way forcing business establishments to close down and damaging and vandalising parks and vehicles.

When the RAF and PAC tried to chase them away they indulged in heavy brick batting damaging public property and vehicles.

The protesters also took offence to the presence of media covering the event and also damaged their vehicles and electronic equipments. (PTI)
