Azamgarh: Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who was in Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh on Friday, hit out at the earlier regime of Akhilesh Yadav and said the district was called the epicentre of terrorism before 2017.
“I still remember, when I was Gujarat Home Minister and a blast happened in Ahmedabad and when Police were arresting culprits, the mastermind behind the blast was caught from Azamgarh…….Azamgarh’s image was destroyed by previous," he said.
During the rally, he said people would not forgive the opposition parties for disrupting Parliament proceedings over Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from the Lok Sabha based on legislation brought by the Congress-led UPA government.
In August last year, Yogi Adityanath, during his visit to the village had promised that a music college, affiliated with the Bhatkhande University, Lucknow will be established in the village. Hariharpur village, around 5 km from Azamgarh, is known for its centuries-old legacy of music, where children learn the musical notes before the alphabet, and musical instruments become their toys.
It is learnt that even a child below the age of five years is familiar with 'sur' and 'raaga.' Proficiency in folk music comes naturally to them, as every household has musical instruments like harmonium, sarangi, tabla, sitar, dholak and mridang.
