Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Sunday asked the Uttar Pradesh government to seek apology from the public for putting those protesting in anti-citizenship law demonstrations behind bars without thorough investigation.
She dubbed it as "highly shameful and condemnable".
In a tweet in Hindi, the BSP national president said, "In Uttar Pradesh, especially in Bijnor, Sambhal, Muzzafarnagar, Meerut, Firozabad and other districts, innocent people have been sent to jail for protesting against the CAA/NRC without an investigation. This issue has also been raised by the media and is highly shameful and condemnable.
