'Presence of a LIU personnel at press conference is a serious matter'-Pawan Pandey 

Samajwadi Party's senior leader Pawan Pandey also called the presence of the LIU personnel at a party event to be a serious matter. In his statement given to a news agency, he said, "This indicates that the state government is afraid of SP which is the main opposition party in the state. We want to tell the government that snooping on our leaders will not deter us from raising issues related to the common man."

Earlier on Sunday, the SP Chief had convened a press conference at the Samajwadi Party office during which he slammed the Yogi Adityanath government for its alleged crackdown on protesters who were protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

He also accused the state government of allegedly targetting innocent people and called CAA to be an attempt to divert attention from other important and concern worthy issues like economic slowdown and unemployment. It was during this press conference that the party leaders spotted an LIU personnel sitting among the group of journalists.
