Mukhtar Ansari Death Sparks Political Turmoil: BJP Slams Opposition, Akhilesh Yadav Calls for SC-Monitored Probe

The opposition’s charges over the killing of gangster politician Mukhtar Ansari prompted the Bharatiya Janata Party to respond on Friday, warning the public against their use of divisive techniques based on community. As the epicenter of the comrades, Ghazipur, Mau, Jaunpur, Azamgarh, and Balia was recognized. How did these areas turn into a haven for criminal activity? We should all exercise caution. BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi remarked, “PM Narendra Modi’s efforts of inclusive empowerment have nullified their tactics of communal polarization.”He added that the area used to be a Congress stronghold. The Samajwadi Party chief, Akhilesh Yadav, asked Thursday that a Supreme Court judge inquire into Mukhtar Ansari’s passing. On Thursday at the Banda Medical College, Mukhtar Ansari, an MLA from Uttar Pradesh and a victim of murder, passed away due to cardiac arrest.

Relatives of Mukhtar Ansari have stated that he was administered “slow poison”. “It is the foremost responsibility and duty of the government to protect someone’s life in every situation and at every place,” stated Akhilesh Yadav. “The death of a hostage or prisoner in any of the following circumstances will erode public confidence in the judicial process — while confined in a police station, in a fight inside the jail, on falling ill inside the prison, while being taken to hospital, during treatment in hospital, by showing a false encounter, by showing a false suicide, by showing casualties in an accident — all such doubtful cases should be probed under the supervision of a Supreme Court judge,” he stated.

Mayawati, the head of the BSP, also called for a thorough investigation into Ansari’s passing. “The persistent apprehensions and serious allegations made by Mukhtar Ansari’s family regarding his death in jail require a high-level investigation so that the true facts of his death can be revealed,” she stated. Umar Ansari, the son of Ansari, claimed that on March 19, he was administered slow poison and that his attorneys had informed the court of this.”Only the media informed us of his passing. We’ll demand a thorough investigation and take any necessary legal action. We fully trust the court,” he declared. Section 144 of the CrPC was used by the UP administration to impose prohibitory orders following the death of Mukhtar Ansari. They also improved security in Banda, Mau, Ghazipur, and Varanasi, which are all under Ansari’s sphere of control.
