Lucknow: The opposition on Monday grilled the
Uttar Pradesh government over the "deteriorating" law and
order situation in the state, saying the figures available on
the official website showed a 25 per cent rise in crime graph.
The SP and the BJP cornered the government through
supplementaries and asked whether it has formulated any
specific policy to check the law and order situation. Jokhu
Lal Yadav (SP) cited various criminal cases to stress his
point.
When the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Lalji Verma,
cited figures to substantiate slide in crime rate, Radhey
Mohan Agarwal and Satish Mahana (both BJP) said the data
available on the government website showed a 25 per cent rise.
The BJP asked if there was any move to set up the state
security commission.
Ambika Chaudhary (SP) asked whether the government had
issued any specific order for reservation in the post of
police station incharges for minorities as it was done for the
Scheduled Castes.
Dissatisfied with the minister`s reply the SP MLAs
staged a walkout in the House.
