Uttar Pradesh has been turned into an Islamic state: Shiv Sena

February 8, 2016

Mumbai, Feb 8: Lashing out at the Akhilesh Yadav government over Pakistani ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali's concert in Lucknow, the Shiv Sena today branded Uttar Pradesh as an "Islamic state" and alleged that the state government has begun "anti-national business" for appeasement politics.shivsena

The ruling ally also took a swipe at the BJP for being a "mute spectator" to the event, and demanded that those who allowed the concert to take place should be booked for anti-national activities.

"The 'Islamic Yadav' government says that Ghulam Ali was invited to perform to promote Hindu-Muslim unity. But, to promote unity, why does one need Pakistani artistes only? There are fine Muslim artistes in the country who are famous," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said.

"Keeping the upcoming Assembly polls in mind, the Yadav government has started an anti-national business (of inviting Pakistani artistes) to play appeasement politics," it alleged.

Lashing out further at the UP government, it said, "Uttar Pradesh is a mine of fine artistes, but (Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh) Yadav is only interested in coal from Pakistan," and added that tomorrow Yadav may invite Hafiz Saeed to appease the minority community.

"People who feel that the Pathankot terror attack should be forgotten and Ghulam Ali should be allowed to perform are traitors of the country. If Ghulam Ali is allowed to perform amidst the wails of the family of the martyred jawans, then people responsible (for giving permission to perform) should be booked for anti-national activities," it said.

Taking a jibe at the BJP, the Sena sought to know if the party bagged 71 seats in the UP Lok Sabha polls to remain mute spectator to Ghulam Ali's performance.

"This is bizarre. On one hand ISIS is troubling the Indian government, on the other the Yadavs have turned UP into an Islamic state and welcomed Ghulam Ali," it said.

Ghulam Ali yesterday regaled the audience with his popular numbers on the concluding day of Lucknow Mahotsava.

His performance went off peacefully despite threats by Shiv Sena, which had forced cancellation of his concert in Mumbai last year.

It is proved that Pakistani's mind-set and tolerance better than Shiv Sena and his followers VHP/BD/RSS, we urge more and more Pakistani Artists come to India to perform these goonda parties shut their mouth and apply Burnol to their backyard.

This is solely the business of UP government.
why others should poke their nose there.

Artists, sportsmen have only 1 religion of their own.

Though they have no religion, at least they are better than who quarrel in the name of religion.

I totally agree with Shiva Sena. Whoever visits Pakistan from India and whoever visits from from Pakistan to India are considered Anti Nationals.

Lucknow, Jul 20: Dr Azizuddin Sheikh, who was fighting COVID-19 as a front line worker, passed away after contracting coronavirus in Uttar Pradesh. He is survived by a wife and three small children. 

40-year-old Dr Azizuddin, who hailed from Rajasthan, was serving as a paediatrician at Avanti Bai Hospital and Duffein Hospital, Lucknow for past few years. He had also worked in the Middle Eastern countries. 

When a large number of doctors preferred to stay home following the covid-19 outbreak, Dr Azizudin was working 16 to 17 hours battling the pandemic. 

According to sources, he tested positive for the covid-19 last month. “After the reports came positive, he had to call the concerned authorities many times to take him to the hospital,” recalled his family members.

He was first admitted to Lok Bandhu Hospital and was later shifted to KGMU after his condition deteriorated. Later he was taken to SGPGIMS.
 
“Despite following all the guidelines and taking every precaution while treating coronavirus patients, he tested positive for the covid-19. It’s a shock for all of us,” he said.

He used to console his family members and instill confidence among them, said one of his relatives. 

A local newspaper quoted his friends as saying that he was very dedicated in serving people that he used to take minimal possible fees from his patients. When the family asked him to increase consultation fees his reply would be, “They are poor people, how will they afford”?

After his death, one of his patients Alok Singh wrote about an incident. “When I asked doctor Sahib why he charges so less, his answer was I have to answer Allah. The truth that he has left us will always be the reason for our grief.”
