UP Election 2022:Yogi warns 'followers of abba jaan' after Owaisi's threatens Shaheen Bhagh 2.0 over CAA

Uttar Padesh chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday again used the term “abba jaan” as a jibe, threatening strict action against those who incite passion over the Citizenship Amendment act.

Target AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi who recently demanded the withdrawal of the law, the chief minister called him an agent of Samajwadi Party.

In Kanpur on Tuesday, Adityanath said there used to be riots every “third or fourth day” in Uttar Pradesh earlier. “I would like to warn the person who is once again is trying to incite feelings in the name of CAA.” "I am asking followers of 'chacha jaan' (uncle) and 'abba jaan' to listen carefully that if attempts are made to vitiate the atmosphere of the state by inciting feelings, the state government will deal with it strictly," the chief minister said.

While addressing a meeting in Barabanki on Sunday, Owaisi had demanded that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) should be withdrawn as well after the announcement on the repeal of the agri laws.

“The CAA is against the Constitution. If the BJP government does not take back this law, we will come out on the streets and another Shaheen Bagh will come up here,” the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader had said.

The chief minister had sparked a row in September by using the Urdu term for 'father’, saying that rations distributed by the previous state government went to those who say “abba jaan”.
