Aligarh (UP), Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) president and newly elected Nagina MP Chandrashekhar Azad on Tuesday warned of a statewide agitation by the deprived sections if "atrocities" against Dalits and weaker sections in Uttar Pradesh were not controlled. Will go. Will be done.

He was speaking to reporters after participating in a protest against the kidnapping and murder of a Dalit youth in Aligarh recently.

Azad alleged that some policemen investigating the case were negligent and should be punished.

He claimed, "Had the police taken immediate action after the kidnapping of Gaurav, he would have been alive."

Azad demanded a "fast-track investigation" into the entire episode, a compensation of Rs 50 lakh to the victim's family and a government job to a relative of Gaurav.

He said that his party "will not rest by just holding protests, but will enter the mainstream electoral politics of Uttar Pradesh."

Azad also said that his party will field its candidates in the upcoming assembly by-elections in the state.
