National

A guy called Salman Siddiqui threatened the lives of Yogi Adityanath, chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, and Devendra Tiwari in a letter to the national president of the Bharatiya Kisan Manch (BKM) and PIL activist Tiwari.

The accused threatened to blow him and Yogi Adityanath up with a bomb in a letter to the Hindu leader. The note addressed to Devendra Tiwari stated: “You’ve heard it countless times, Devendra Tiwari, but you still don’t get it. Numerous slaughterhouses in the state have been forced to close as a result of your PIL, robbing other Muslim brethren of their means of subsistence. You can see what will go place now. You skillfully fled Deoband, but a bomb will now be detonated near you and Yogi Adityanath. The results will be visible within the following 15 days. However, you two (Devendra Tiwari and Yogi Adityanath) would be bombed to death while the others had their necks chopped.”

The threat letter also identified Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Mahmood Madani and AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi. The letter added the following: “Asaduddin Owaisi and Maulana Madani, our teachers, are in tears because of you. Every tear they have cried will be repaid by us.”

The threat letter was promptly reported to Uttar Pradesh police, who then launched an investigation by filing a complaint against unidentified individuals.

Prior to the Independence Day celebrations, which are scheduled on August 15, this development is significant.

In honour of India’s 75th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has invited the nation’s citizens to raise the tricolour at their residences between August 13 and August 15.
