A Rihai Manch spokesperson has said that the UP government is getting frustrated at the Manch’ sustained struggle and hence stooping so low, adding that this may prove the begining of the downfall of the SP government in the state.
On Wednesday, they had demanded from the government to make call details of ADG Law & Order & other police officers involved in the ‘çonspiracy’ in the arrest and death of Khalid Mujahid to be made public.
