The Uttar Pradesh Police booked SP MLA Shazil Islam Ansari and others for allegedly making objectionable comments against Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at a function in Bareilly district.

Shazil Ansari is an MLA from Bhojipura seat in Bareilly district. The police have also booked SP’s Bareilly district vice-president Sanjeev Kumar Saxena who had organized the function where the purported statement was allegedly made.

A complaint was filed by Bareilly’s Hindu Yuva Vahini district president Anuj Verma at Baradari police station in the city. 

According to the police, Ansari had attended a function at Saxena’s residence on April 2. While speaking at the event, he said that if the voice of the opposition is suppressed in Vidhan Sabha, then a reply will be given through guns.

Ansari refuted the allegations and claimed that media had doctored the video and made it viral. He had rather said that being a strong opposition we (SP) will give a strong reply on all things like a gun which emits bullets and not smoke.
