Hope you have not faced any danger: Akhilesh Yadav tells scribe

KANPUR: "I hope you have not faced any danger," shot back Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav today when asked about the law and order situation in the state in the backdrop of the Badaun rape and murder case and the Azamgarh gangrape incident.

Yadav, who was here on a visit, said arrests have been made in the gangrape and murder of two Dalit sisters in Badaun and action was also being taken against guilty police officials.

Asked what was his view on the law and order situation in UP in the wake of the incident, he retorted, "I hope you have not faced any danger!"

When the journalist said, "No", the Chief Minister said, "Thank you. You should propagate this."

Yadav said a new police control room has come up in Kanpur and added that no other state government has such a set-up.
