Coming out of jail after three days,Leader of Opposition Shivpal Singh Yadav on Thursday threatened punishment for officers who had committed atrocities on Samajwadi Party workers during their three-day agitation against the misrule of the Mayawati government.
Sporting a bandage on his head,Yadav said his party was making a list of such officers and would not spare them whenever it came to power,even if these officers retired.
Yadav was arrested on Monday,the first day of the SP agitation. With him,the authorities also released Akhilesh Yadav,state SP president who was arrested on Wednesday,and several other SP men.
A large number of partymen had gathered outside the Lucknow jail to welcome them. The police lathi-charged them when they tried to burn an effigy of Mayawati,injuring some of them.
Akhilesh Yadav said the days of the UP government were numbered and announced that after Holi,the party would chart out a fresh agitational programme.
