    What's the story

    Political parties have slammed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his remark on "people who are called Abba Jaan" in an apparent attack against the Muslim community and the Samajwadi Party (SP).

    Addressing a program in Kushinagar on Sunday, Adityanath alleged that people did not get rations before 2017 like they do now.

    Here's more.

    Details

    People called 'Abba Jaan' used to digest the rations: Adityanath

    "Because then, people who are called 'Abba Jaan' used to digest the rations. The rations of Kushinagar used to go to Nepal and Bangladesh. Today, if anybody tries to swallow the rations meant for poor people, he will land in jail," the chief minister said.

    "Abba Jaan" is an Urdu term for father.

    Omar Abdullah took to Twitter to criticize CM's remark

    National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah took to Twitter on Sunday to criticize the chief minister's remark.

    "I've always maintained the BJP has no intention of fighting an election with an agenda other than blatant communalism & hatred with all the venom directed towards Muslims. Here is a CM seeking re-election claiming that Muslims ate up all the rations meant for Hindus," he said.

    Language

    SP MLC termed the remark 'unparliamentary'

    Terming Adityanath's remark "unparliamentary," SP MLC Ashutosh Sinha said, "The use of unparliamentary language in the capacity of a chief minister does not suit him, and it shows that he is less educated."

    "This is because those who are well-educated use proper and dignified language. A person who is occupying a Constitutional post should refrain from using such language," said Sinha.

    Petition

    Petition filed in Bihar court over Adityanath's remark

    Meanwhile, a petition was filed before a court in Bihar on Monday against CM Adityanath, taking exception to the controversial remark he made.

    The petition was filed before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Muzaffarpur, by Tamanna Hashmi, a local social activist who alleged that the Muslim community, to which he belongs, was insulted by the remarks of the firebrand BJP leader.

    Information

    Petition will be heard in due course

    Hashmi, a serial litigant who has lodged petitions against many politicians in the past, has asked for a trial of Adityanath under IPC Sections relating to hurt caused to religious sentiments. The petition is likely to be taken up for hearing in due course.
