MORADABAD: Former Samajwadi Party MP, S.T. Hasan triggered a controversy on Friday with his remarks on the ongoing Kanwar Yatra, accusing certain individuals of misusing religion for political gains and behaving as if they were above the law.

Reacting to Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s recent statement on the identification of the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack, Hasan said, “It’s good news that those responsible have been identified. Strict punishment is necessary. Such people must not be spared.”
