Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra on Thursday slammed Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath after gangster Anil Dujana was killing in an encounter with a team of UP police’s Special Task Force (STF) in Meerut today.
In her tweet, Mahua Moitra alleged that encounter killings are replacing due process of law in the state. She added that there is no place for extra judicial killings in constitutional democracy.
“UP Gangster Anil Dujana killed in encounter with UP STF just now. Why are encounter killings replacing due process of law? What blood lust is Hon’ble CM Ajay Bisht instructing UP police to satisfy? Extra judicial killings have no place in constitutional democracy,” Mahua Moitra tweeted.
