'Congress will implement Sharia law in India, if comes to power': UP CM Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath levelled serious accusations against the Congress on Tuesday, alleging that the party, in its election manifesto, has indicated its intention to implement the 'Sharia law' in the country and redistribute people's property.

Addressing an election rally in Amroha, the Chief Minister said, "The Congress and its allies have betrayed the country and have once again come to you with their false manifesto. If you look at the Congress' manifesto, they say that if they form a



government, we will implement Sharia law."

"You tell me, will this country be run by the Constitution made by Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar or by Shariat?" he asked.

"Congress people talk in their manifesto that they will implement 'vyaktigat kanoon' (personal laws). That means Sharia law will be implemented because Modi ji stopped the practice of triple talaq," Adityanath said.

"They say that we will again restore personal law. These people will implement Sharia law...," he added.
