Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath has said people from all religions are safe in the state, adding that if Hindus are safe, Muslims are also safe
He added that communal violence has stopped since the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in Uttar Pradesh in 2017. The chief minister said a Muslim family would feel safe among a hundred Hindu families, but questioned the safety of 50 Hindu families among a hundred Muslim families.
No. Bangladesh is an example. Before this, Pakistan was an example. What happened in Afghanistan? If there is smoke or someone is being hit, we should be careful before we get hit. That is what needs to be taken care of,” Adityanath told news agency ANI in an interview, adding that he treats everyone equally.
