Lucknow, May 11 (PTI) Amid the recently concluded military confrontation with Pakistan and prevailing “uneasy” calm at the LoC, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday appealed to political leaders to refrain from using defense-related backdrops as photo opportunities, urging them instead to show solidarity with the armed forces.
Akhilesh has also urged citizens to exercise restraint and responsible behavior in the face of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, cautioning them against falling for false information or unverified news that circulates online.
हमें अपने देश की बहादुर सेना पर गर्व है। हम सब देश के साथ हैं!
सकंट का समय समझदारी की और भी अधिक माँग करता है। सभी देशवासियों से अपील है कि किसी भी अपुष्ट समाचार और सूचना पर न तो विश्वास करें, न ही आगे प्रचारित और प्रसारित करें। ऐसे समाचार देश के दुश्मनों के द्वारा फैलाये गये…

“In the current highly sensitive environment, ‘defense security’ has become an even more serious issue. Politicians are requested to please not make it a photo background or selfie point. This is a time to stand with the armed forces, not alone for self-display,” Yadav said in a post in Hindi on X.
While Yadav did not name anyone directly, his comment is seen as targeting Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who posed alongside a BrahMos missile or its model in Lucknow at an event.
