Yogi slams Akhilesh Yadav over 'Jinnah' remark, says SP chief's statement shows 'Taliban mindset'

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday slammed Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav for comparing Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah with Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. "Samajwadi Party chief yesterday compared Jinnah to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. This is shameful. It's the Talibani mentality that believes in dividing. Sardar Patel united the country. Presently, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, work is underway to achieve Ek Bharat, Shresth Bharat," he said.
