BJP’s Moradabad City Convener Pawan Agarwal alleged that the Yogi govt is taking upper caste Hindus for granted.
Irked by failure of the Yogi government in checking atrocities being committed against caste Hindus, a BJP leader in communally-sensitive Moradabad, threatened to embrace Islam next month on July 1.
Talking to DNA, BJP’s Moradabad City Convener Pawan Agarwal alleged that caste Hindus, particularly the upper castes, were being harassed, murdered and looted under the Yogi government.
"Yogi government's priorities have changed. They are taking upper caste Hindus for granted. Even party leaders are not safe under their own government and there is no one to listen to the plight of upper caste Hindus,” he charged.
Agarwal is an RTI activist and had exposed many district officials in Moradabad who were involved in corruption during the BSP and Samajwadi Party rules. Recently, he was attacked and his revolver was looted by assailants.
“When I sent a complaint to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the inquiry was handed over to the same corrupt officials whom I had exposed earlier,” he said. “I met them and sought justice, but they laughed at me saying I belonged to an upper caste and their priority is to protect lower caste Hindus and Muslims,” he alleged.
Agarwal claimed that he tweeted to Yogi Adityanath and lodged several complaints at the CM’s office in this regard but nothing has happened till date. “My only fault is that I belong to the upper caste. So I have decided to shun Hinduism and embrace Islam to get protection under Yogi government,” he warned.
“We had high hopes from the Yogi government but all our hopes were shattered when it started ignoring us. If we are not protected under our own government, then it is better we change our religion and embrace a religion which is better protected under the present regime,” he fumed.
Agarwal, however, said that he would continue to be a member of the BJP even after embracing Islam on July 1, 2017. “I have worked for the BJP for a long time. I will continue to serve the party even after changing my religion,” he added.
