Lucknow. A high voltage drama has started after SP chief Akhilesh Yadav was stopped from visiting Jai Prakash Narayan International Convention Center (JPNIC) in Lucknow. Barricading and a large number of police forces have been deployed outside Akhilesh Yadav’s residence since Friday morning. On the other hand, SP workers have started protesting. The Jai Prakash Narayan International Center (JPNIC) has been sealed ahead of the scheduled visit of Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday on the birth anniversary of Jaiprakash Narayan.
Barricading has been done and police force has been deployed. Police has been deployed outside Akhilesh’s house. SP leaders are angry with this. Akhilesh Yadav expressed protest against the siege of JPNIC building. He fiercely attacked the UP government. Akhilesh is adamant on going to JP Centre. Amidst the uproar, JCP Law and Order and other officers have reached Akhilesh’s house for talks. Efforts are being made to negotiate. Workers are lying on the road outside Akhilesh’s residence.
On Friday, on the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav is going to visit JP Center located in Gomti Nagar, but Lucknow Development Authority has closed it by putting a tin shed at the gate of JP Center. Lucknow Development Authority had sent a letter to SP on Thursday, in which it was informed that the building is still under construction. Because of this, construction material is kept in an unplanned manner. There is a possibility of animals being found here after the rain, due to which it is not safe for former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who has Z Plus category security, to garland here.
Leader of Opposition in Uttar Pradesh Assembly Mata Prasad Pandey said that Jai Prakash Narayan was our big leader in the freedom struggle, a freedom fighter. He has the respect of leaders of all parties. Therefore, today on his birth anniversary, we the opposition garland his statue to honor him. Last time also Akhilesh Yadav was stopped, but our national president went there and garlanded him and then left. I don’t understand what mountain can be broken just by garlanding?
SP spokesperson Sunil Singh Sajan has attacked BJP for being stopped from going to JP. He said that whether a weak government, a helpless government, a dishonest government, a corrupt government or a government that destroys democracy will be able to stop JPNIC from going. Samajwadi Party leader Juhi Singh said that this government is afraid of democracy, afraid of voices. There was only a wreath laying program but why have we been stopped? Let it be known that last year also SP did not get permission for this program. Then Akhilesh entered inside JP Center by climbing the eight feet wall of iron sheet built by LDA. This time SP had sent a letter to LDA informing them about the floral tribute program of Akhilesh Yadav at JP Centre.
