The photo was posted on the website of a Hindi news daily. It was said to be dated April and lifted from the account of a Samajwadi Party leader on the social networking site.
‘The news related to photo of the chief minister with an accused in Saharanpur incident along with other persons is baseless and misleading,’ an official spokesman said in a statement here.
‘The chief minister meets a number of people everyday. The photo in which the CM is shown with the accused, other persons are also visible. In such a situation, making baseless comment on the basis of a photo is not indicative of healthy democratic traditions,’ he added.
The spokesman said that law and order was the top priority of the government and it would not compromise on that.
‘The photo is being circulated by some elements with the intention of misleading the people and malign the image of the government,’ he alleged.
The spokesman said that the accused in question had been arrested and action as per law was being taken.
‘Stern action will be taken against criminals disturbing peace in Saharanpur,’ he said.
Akhilesh was earlier targeted by the opposition for reportedly meeting Maulana Nazeer, against whom a case has been registered for allegedly inflaming communal tension in Muzafarnagar, in Lucknow in September.
