Akhilesh Yadav criticises encounter
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav shared a chart on his social media account. He wrote on X, "In the reign of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the number of encounters also reflects the injustice of illegal killings, as well as the oppression against the PDA." The Samajwadi Party president shared a chart that claimed that 125 (60 per cent) of the people killed in these so-called "fake encounters" were from the PDA. However, the chart does not mention the source of this information.
