UP, U'khand directives on Kanwar route food stalls divisive step: Cong MP

A Congress member in Lok Sabha on Monday described as “divisive” the directive of the Uttar Pradesh government asking eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to display the owners’ names.

Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Dharamvira Gandhi (Cong) sought the directive’s immediate roll back, saying it was “unconstitutional” and “undemocratic”.

He claimed it was part of the BJP’s “divisive agenda” which would create fissures in the society.
