AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticized the recent Bahraich encounter, saying it reflects Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath`s `Thok Do` policy. He argued that this approach is against the Constitution and should not replace the rule of law. Owaisi stated that Uttar Pradesh should be governed by legal principles, not violence. He questioned the police`s actions, suggesting they should have arrested the suspects instead of resorting to shooting. He mocked the situation, comparing it to a Netflix movie and suggested that the police could excel in the Olympics for their shooting skills. Owaisi emphasized that if there is evidence against someone, they should be taken to court for justice, rather than being judged and punished without due process. He also expressed concern over growing hatred against a particular community, calling for a more lawful and just approach.
