Stop saffron appeasement, Mayawati tells BJP

LUCKNOW: The BJP government’s policy of “saffron appeasement” was impacting law and order in the state, BSP president Mayawati said on Saturday while demanding stern action against those behind the caste clashes in Saharanpur on Friday. “Murder, violence and playing with law and order has become a common sight in the name of saffron appeasement of the BJP government which has also caused fear and terror among the people,” Mayawati said in a party release a day after the Saharanpur violence in which one person was killed and at least 15 injured.–PTI
