Yogi Adityanath calls Congress Lok Sabha candidate Imran Masood terrorist ‘Masood Azhar’s son-in-law’
Yogi Adityanath.
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, on Sunday, kicked off the BJP’s Lok Sabha election campaign in the state from Saharanpur and immediately courted controversy. While addressing a public meeting, he targeted the Congress candidate from the constituency, Imran Masood, by referring to him as Jaish-e-Muhammed chief Masood Azhar’s “son-in-law” who “speaks his language”.
Adityanath, without mentioning Imran Masood’s name, said, “Azhar Masood’s son-in-law comes to Saharanpur and speaks his language. Should someone who speaks Masood’s language be allowed to win from Saharanpur or should the symbol of development and security, Raghav Lakhanpal (the BJP candidate), win?”
He also claimed that the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre is committed to tackling terrorism and said, “You must have heard of Osama bin Laden’s name. He was killed brutally. One day, Azhar Masood will be killed in a similar fashion. You don’t worry.”
He further slammed the opposition and said, “In the previous governments, terrorists were fed biryani. In our government, terrorists are fed bullets and bombs.”
