New Delhi, April 16 (). In the wake of the heinous killing of mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother, the Congress on Sunday said the country’s constitution should respect the rule of law.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “Strictest punishment should be given to the criminals, but it should be under the law of the land.” Breaking or violating the rule of law and judicial process for any political purpose is dangerous for our democracy. Whoever does this should be held responsible and the law should be strictly enforced on them.
He said that there should be a collective effort to ensure that the judicial system and the rule of law are followed in letter and spirit at all times.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has announced a three-member judicial commission that will probe the murder of Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf on Saturday night in the presence of police and media.
The state has been put on high alert.
