Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath responded to the Lulu Mall controversy by directing the Lucknow administration to take strict action against those trying to disturb communal harmony and obstruct people from doing their work.
Addressing officials in Lucknow, Mr. Adityanath said, “In Lucknow, a mall has opened and is carrying out its business, but it has been made a hub of politics, unnecessary statements are being issued about it and protests are being held on the streets, disrupting the movement of the people. Despite being told by the Lucknow administration several times, efforts are being made to create anarchy and communal tensions.”
Mr. Adityanath said there were several ways to seek information (about the mall) but nobody would be allowed to obstruct the movement of people. “We have already made it clear roads are not meant for protest and religious practices. I direct the administration to strictly enforce the law.”
