LUCKNOW Samajwadi Party (SP) members on Tuesday created a ruckus in the Vidhan Parishad and trooped into the well, taking exception to chief minister Yogi Adityanath referring to former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav’s father (Mulayam Singh Yadav) as ‘abba jaan’. Chairman Kumar Manvendra Singh, who was conducting the proceedings, said there was nothing unparliamentary about calling someone ‘abba jaan’ and succeeded in calming members down after 10 minutes of commotion. Resuming the speech, the CM said the SP members were preaching him on the use of parliamentary words here while one of their MPs (he did not name) was seen in the morning shamelessly defending the Taliban and their barbaric acts. Referring to the opposition’s allegations about bodies found flouting in the Ganga during the second wave, Adityanath said bodies were also found floating in the Ganga in Kanpur and Unnao during the SP regime. The CM said Covid was not an ordinary disease and people must accept this reality.
