The UP CM further said, “Peace was restored by taking immediate control of yesterday's events, it is necessary to maintain it permanently. Efforts should be made that the unruly elements do not grab headlines.”
Protests had erupted in the state as demonstrators raised slogans demanding the arrest of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and Delhi unit media in-charge Naveen Jindal for their controversial statements regarding the Prophet and Islam.
In the review meeting, Yogi Adityanath, while asking the police and district officials to remain vigilant, gave guidelines to maintain the law and order in the state post the protests.
1) Police and administration should be on alert and be prepared for any kind of situation.
2) Identification of the main conspirators is essential. The UP CM said that it was sad that the conspirators had resorted to employing teenagers for their ‘malicious purposes’.
