‘Why are they standing with rioters’, taunts CM Adityanath after Priyanka Gandhi visits families

The tweets came hours after Priyanka Gandhi made an unscheduled visit to Muzaffarnagar and Meerut districts to meet the affected families, but did not refer directly to her.

After Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra met families affected by violence during anti-CAA protests, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said that those “repeatedly rejected” by people were still pursuing politics of appeasement and questioned the show of “sympathy for rioters”. “Why so much sympathy to those who burn, vandalise your property? Why are they standing with rioters and hooligans who harm peace, security and public property of the country,” a tweet from Yogi Adityanath Office said. “People are watching and they understand. Despite being rejected repeatedly, they are not desisting from politics of appeasement. They will never succeed in their designs,” it said.

The tweets came hours after Priyanka Gandhi made an unscheduled visit to Muzaffarnagar and Meerut districts to meet the affected families, but did not refer directly to her.”Maintaining peace and tranquillity is the responsibility of your government and it is fulfilling it with full commitment,” another tweet said.

Earlier on Saturday morning, Priyanka Gandhi met the families who have alleged police excesses during the recent protests against the amended Citizenship Act.
