Raja Bhaiya falsely implicated on Azam Khan’s direction,say VJP,BJP MP Yogi

Yogi Adityanath says UP govt had made Raja Bhaiya scapegoat in the case to appease Imam Bukhari.

BJP MP Yogi Adityanath and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) have come out in support of former minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiyya,who had to resign from the Akhilesh Yadav government after he was named as an accused in the murder of Deputy Superintendent of Police Ziaul Haque.

While Adityanath said the state government had made Raja Bhaiyya a scapegoat,the VHP said it would launch an agitation if Raja Bhaiya was arrested. VHP leaders said that they support the Kunda MLA because he is a Hindu and has been falsely implicated in the case.

Talking to The Indian Express over phone from Devipatan,Yogi said that UP government had made Raja Bhaiyya a scapegoat in the case to appease Imam Syed Ahmad Bukhari of Delhi’s Jama Masjid,his rival Azam Khan and Muslims in general.

Yogi said that a fair probe was required in the case. “CBI works on the directive of the Congress whereas UP police are under the control of SP government. A fair inquiry is not expected from these two agencies,” said Yogi,adding,“A judicial inquiry is required in this particular case.”

He also said that Raja Bahaiya should not be arrested until the inquiry is completed.

Yogi said that SP government was looking at the Kunda incident as murder of a Muslim and not as murder of a police officer. “The government has given financial assistance of Rs 50 lakh and assurance of government jobs to family members of the DSP because he is a Muslim,but no help has been given to family of Ram Babu Gupta who was killed in Ambedkar Nagar,” Yogi said.

VHP’s Kashi Prant orgnisation secretary Manoj Srivastava said that Raja Bhaiya had been falsely implicated to appease Muslims on the directive of Cabinet Minister Azam Khan. “The wife of the DSP had named Raja Bahaiyya in the FIR on the suggestion of Azam. VHP will lodge an FIR of conspiracy against Azam Khan,’’ said Srivastava. “I demand the CBI to also check the call details of Azam and Parveen Azad,wife of the DSP,” Srivastava said.
