Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday strongly criticised those involved in the recent violence in Bareilly and warned of stern police action.
Addressing a public meeting in Balrampur, he referred to the lathi-charge during the clashes in Bareilly and said miscreants would face a similar fate if such violent protests resurface.

“A few individuals should not be allowed to spoil the environment. These are the same people who brought an identity crisis to Uttar Pradesh along with the corrupt governments. There were no investments or developments in the State due to these people,” Yogi said.
“Now they are adopting new tactics. But they must remember that we are more prepared than they think. They will be beaten just as they were beaten in Bareilly,” the Chief Minister added.
Condemning the “I love Muhammad” posters, CM Yogi said that the “fools” were ruining children’s lives.
“These fools don’t even know that symbols of faith are honoured, not loved. Faith isn’t something to be displayed at crossroads; it’s a matter of conscience. Some people are creating chaos in society by giving small children posters of ‘I Love Muhammad’. They don’t even realise that their own lives are already ruined, but they’re hell-bent on ruining the lives of these children as well,” he said.
Warning against attempts to create disorder, he said, “The government will never accept this kind of anarchy. Anyone who attempts to take the law into their own hands, be informed in advance that we will issue them a ticket to hell without asking. This anarchy is unacceptable.”
The remarks came after protests outside Ala Hazrat Dargah and the residence of Ittehad-e-Millat Council chief Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan in Bareilly turned violent.
Earlier, UP Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Range Ajay Kumar Sahni said that Maulana Tauqeer Raza, identified as the main conspirator behind the violence, has been arrested and sent to judicial custody.
