TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has served a legal notice to National Conference spokesperson Junaid Azim Mattu for allegedly spreading hatred against the BJP.
“UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has sent a legal notice of defamation to National Conference state spokesperson Junaid Azim Mattu through counsel for Government of India Abhishek Atrey for ‘a habit of spreading hatred against the Bharatiya Janata Party’ and ‘spreading false stories against Mahant Yogi Adityanath by blaming him that he asked Hindus to rape dead Muslim women’,” the NC said in a statement here on Wednesday.
The legal notice alleges that Mr. Mattu has made such statements to cause “intentional” hatred among the people towards the BJP and the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, thereby directly inciting hatred against the government of that state and hence, they are seditious in nature. It has been demanded that an apology be published within two weeks in favour of the saffron party and Mr. Adityanath failing which, legal action would be initiated. Reacting to the development, Mr. Mattu said he would not be deterred by such “cowardly acts“.
