LUCKNOW: Describing BJP leader Varun Gandhi, who was detained by her government under National Security Act (NSA), as a "threat" to law and order, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati on Thursday said even more stringent action would be taken against him if he violates his undertaking not to make inflammatory speeches.
A close watch would be kept on Varun's activities after his release from jail following a Supreme Court order, Mayawati told reporters in Lucknow.
"Our government feels that Varun is a threat to law and order of the state and we will keep a close watch on his activites after his release", she said.
"Though I will not like to make any comment on SC decision to grant parole to Gandhi, my government is of the view that his release could vitiate public order in the state. We have strongly contended in the court not to release Gandhi", Mayawati said.
She said Varun in his undertaking given to the apex court has promised not to make inflammatory speeches.
"Such an undertaking was given by the then chief minister Kalyan Singh in Ayodhya issue but Congress and BJP had connived and the Babri Mosque was demolished there. And his (Singh's) undertaking proved to be of no use", Mayawati said.
"As Varun belongs to the same party (BJP), we have to see how much he follows what he promised in his undertaking", the chief minister said.
"If Varun behaves like Kalyan Singh, our government will initiate stricter legal action against him", she said adding her government would ensure that he does not repeat his act.
