In Uttar Pradesh, law means Adityanath's law, order means Adityanath's order: P Chidambaram

The former union minister called Priyanka Gandhi’s detention “completely illegal and utterly shameful”.

New Delhi: A day after Priyanka Gandhi was detained by the Uttar Pradesh police, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram hit out at Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over the law and order situation in the state.

His statement comes in the backdrop of Lakhimpur Kheri violence in which at least eight persons, including four farmers, were killed.

Alleging that the UP police violated several laws, Chidambaram said that law and order seem to have a different meaning in the state.
