They are praising CM Yogi Adityanath, for his bold step.These charges are based on SC’s 2007 orders and the Allahabad HC too had ordered in 2011, for recovery of damages from protestors.When Asked why this time the recovery was charged, on this a senior UP officer said, “The move is not communally motivated.
It is based on SC and HC orders.
The administration has to take a call on implementing it at some time.
