letters@htlive.com LUCKNOW:

A stampede occurred at the Mahakumbh during the second Amrit Snan on Mauni Amavasya on January 29. As per the UP government, at least 30 people were killed and around 60 individuals sustained injuries.

The CM took pot shots at Kharge and Yadav for their remarks in Parliament, accusing them of misleading the public about Mahakumbh. Adityanath claimed there were groups taking money to defame Sanatan Dharma and engaging in conspiracy. "Their plans will not succeed. We will investigate the January 29 incident and expose the conspirators," he said.

"While the nation and the world take pride in witnessing the grand celebration of Sanatan Dharma, those who have got 'supari' to defame Sanatan, are setting new narratives of deceit everyday regarding Mahakumbh," he told media in Prayagraj.
