Saxena alleged Qureshi trying to create tension and hatred between communities
On Saturday, the former governor visited Samajwadi Party MP Azam Khan’s wife at her residence in Rampur.
Saxena, in his complaint, alleged that Qureshi compared the BJP led state government to a demon, while addressing the media after the meeting.
He also alleged that Qureshi wants to create tension and hatred among communities.
“His intentional statement is becoming increasingly viral on social media, due to which the atmosphere of UP, including Rampur, is also likely to deteriorate” he said.
