Lucknow: The BJP leaders appear divided over Meerut Superintendent of Police's 'go to Pakistan' remark to Muslims. While Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Sunday backed the policeman, Union Minister for Minorities Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi demanded immediate action against him.
"He [Meerut SP] didn't say it for all Muslims but probably to those who were raising pro-Pakistan slogans while pelting stones. His statement is not wrong for the people involved in anti-national activities. It is right for those who are sloganeering against India and supporting Pakistan," Maurya said in Lucknow.
