‘Go to Pakistan’ Row : Uma Bharti Extends Support to Meerut SP

New Delhi: Senior BJP leader Uma Bharti today extended her support to Meerut Superintendent of Police Akhilesh Narain Singh after his video going viral with some sensitive communal remarks on Muslim protestors and asking them to ‘Go back to Pakistan’.

Taking to Twitter, Uma shared a series of tweets writing that the SP’s reaction on the protesters was ‘natural’ as the protesters were raising slogans in favour of Pakistan, were abusing the police and were also throwing stones at them,” she wrote.

Taking pot-shots at the Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Uma said, “Both of them while making it a political issue are forgetting the human side of the story that even the police have families and the spirit of patriotism also prevails in them. The Congress is making it a political issue.”

In a viral video, Meerut SP, in riot gear, can be heard telling some Muslim protesters to go to Pakistan and threatening to ruin the career of those who allegedly indulged in violence.
