Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has called on Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav to issue a public apology over recent remarks, according to a statement released by the CM’s office.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has formally asked Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav to apologise publicly for remarks that he described as disrespectful to the state and its people. The demand was conveyed through an official statement issued by the CM’s office, which said the comments had caused unnecessary tension.
The remarks in question were made by Yadav during a recent public engagement, prompting Dhami to seek a corrective response. While the exact wording of the comments has not been disclosed, the chief minister characterised them as inappropriate and called for an immediate apology.
As of now, Akhilesh Yadav’s office has not issued a response, and the matter remains pending. Political analysts note that the exchange reflects the broader friction between the ruling BJP in Uttarakhand and opposition leaders from neighboring states.
The incident underscores the sensitivity of inter‑state political discourse in India, where statements by senior politicians are closely scrutinised for communal and regional impact.
