Will see off Munawwar Rana, if he wants to leave: Dinesh Sharma at Panchayat Aaj Tak

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said he would "personally see off" Urdu poet Munawwar Rana if he decided to move out of the state. Sharma was reacting to Rana's reported remark that he would move out of Uttar Pradesh if the BJP won the upcoming assembly election.

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma on Friday said he would "personally see off" Urdu poet Munawwar Rana if he decided to move out of Uttar Pradesh should the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) returned to power in next year's assembly polls. Speaking at Panchayat Aaj Tak, Dinesh Sharma said, "Munawwar Rana is our elder. I respect him. He is a fine poet. He writes good poetry on mother. But if he wants to leave Uttar Pradesh, I will personally see him off as I respect him."
