BSP chief Mayawati accused the BJP of targeting and “harassing” poor, Dalits, tribals and Muslims "like the Congress" party.
New Delhi: Hitting out at the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government, BSP supremo Mayawati on Thursday (May 12) backed jailed Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan and said his continued incarceration is a "strangulation of justice" in the eyes of the people.
Taking to Twitter, Mayawati accused the BJP of targeting and “harassing” poor, Dalits, tribals and Muslims "like the Congress" party.
"In Uttar Pradesh and other BJP ruled states, like the Congress, the manner in which poor, Dalits, tribals and Muslims are being harassed by making them victims of atrocities and fear is very sad, whereas their (BJP) kindness is continuing in the affairs of others,” the former UP chief minister said in a tweet in Hindi.
Coming out in support of SP’s Khan, the BSP chief said, "In this sequence, the matter of continuous hateful and terror (like) action by the UP government on its opponents and keeping senior MLA Mohammad Azam Khan in jail for about two-and-a-half years is in the news which, in the eyes of the people, if not strangulating justice then what."
