UP CM Adityanath's new directive for restaurants violates Supreme Court order: Saket Gokhale
New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP, Saket Gokhale has alleged that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath has issued oral directives to the state government to enforce a rule requiring restaurant and shop owners to display the names of their owners and staff.
According to Gokhale, the Chief Minister claims that this measure is intended to "prevent food adulteration."
Gokhale criticised the move, calling it a discriminatory tactic targeting the Muslim community. He highlighted that the Supreme Court had issued interim orders on July 22nd, prohibiting the state government from implementing a similar directive during the Kanwar Yatra.
In a letter to the Principal Secretary of the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), Gokhale demanded that the UP government refrain from passing such an order. He added that if the directive is officially notified, he would approach the Supreme Court to initiate contempt proceedings against the Uttar Pradesh government.
