Agar Koi Marne Ke Liye Aa Raha Hai: Yogi Sparks Row on CAA Deaths

“No one has died from police bullets. All those who died have died of bullets from rioters,” he said.

UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Wednesday, 19 February, kicked off a major controversy when he slammed the anti-CAA protesters and made a disparaging remark on the deaths that took place during the protests.

“Agar koi marne ke liye aa hi raha hai to woh zinda kahan se ho jaayega?” (If someone is coming with the intent to die, then how will the person remain alive?) he said while referring to the 22 deaths that took place during the anti-CAA protests in December 2019.
