The opposition parties on Thursday slammed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for warning anti-CAA protesters that "azadi" slogans raised by them will treated as sedition.
While the Samajwadi Party drew an analogy with the British rule, the Congress termed it "a language of dictators".
The UP CM in a rally in Kanpur on Wednesday had said,"If azadi slogans are raised here like they used to be raised in Kashmir, then it will come in the category of sedition and stringent action will be taken by the government."
When asked about the chief minister's allegation that the SP was funding anti-CAA protests, Chaudhary said, "This amounts to making a mockery of people's emotions."
