AAP to protest against Jay Shah in UP, demand SIT probe

The Aam Adam Party (AAP) on Tuesday said it will launch a protest across Uttar Pradesh to demand an independent SIT probe into allegations against Jay Shah, son of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah.

Party spokesman Sabhajeet Singh told the media here that demonstrations would be held in all districts of the state on Thursday and a memorandum demanding a probe against the junior Shah would be forwarded to the President of India.

The AAP leader said it was shameful that the entire union government had gone into an aggressive mode to defend the indefensible acts of the son of the BJP chief.

"There are millions of people in the country who cannot afford a lawyer to fight their just cases...and here the entire government, ministers and party office-bearers are out baying for blood of anyone and everyone questioning 16,000 times growth of Jay Shah's company in just a few years," the leader said.- IANS
