National General Secretary of Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (Subhashpa), Arvind Rajbhar, has raised serious questions on the Samajwadi Party (SP) and its leadership regarding the issue of threat by showing a pistol in his office.

He claimed that a man came to his office and during a dispute with the office in-charge, pulled out a pistol and threatened him and SubhaSP chief Omprakash Rajbhar. Describing this incident as serious, Arvind Rajbhar said that a complaint has been given to the police and he wants the matter to be revealed soon.

Arvind Rajbhar said that he was not present in the office at the time of the incident and was leaving for the Basti program. The incident took place in his own cabin, where a man first argued with the office in-charge and later allegedly threatened him by pulling out a pistol.

He said that the concerned person told the office in-charge to tell Omprakash Rajbhar and Arvind Rajbhar not to say anything against Samajwadi Party and Akhilesh Yadav.

As the dispute escalated, the man took out a pistol and pointed it at the office in-charge and said that he had come to find Arvind Rajbhar. After this, the accused allegedly threatened that if another statement was made against Akhilesh Yadav and Samajwadi Party, the result would not be good.

Responding immediately to this, the office in-charge picked up the computer keyboard and attacked the accused, due to which the pistol fell down. After this the accused allegedly picked up the pistol and ran out of the office. He was followed outside the office, but he continued to threaten.

He said that he suspects that this could be a well-planned conspiracy. He also linked this apprehension to the earlier statement given by Shivpal Yadav regarding Omprakash Rajbhar.

Some time ago, Shivpal Yadav had talked about 'special treatment' for Omprakash Rajbhar. In response to this, he asked Shivpal Yadav what kind of 'special treatment' he was talking about.

After this, regarding the incident of alleged threat, he expressed apprehension whether it was an attempt to create pressure to political rhetoric. He demanded the police administration to disclose the incident as soon as possible.

Arvind Rajbhar demanded SP national president Akhilesh Yadav to give clarification on this matter. He said that if the person issuing the threat was actually claiming to be a SP supporter or worker, then Akhilesh Yadav should clarify what is the party's stand towards such threats and violence.

Political differences must be responded to through reason and democratic means, not through guns or threats. He has also been receiving threats on social media and some people have reportedly warned him to stop speaking against Akhilesh Yadav.

He also said that some time ago a threatening video was also circulated against him on social media. If a leader or his family is threatened due to political opposition, then it is a serious matter for the democratic system.

Arvind Rajbhar said that he talks about the rights of the poor, youth and deprived society and will not stop his political voice due to any threat. His politics focuses on the issue of advancement of socially, educationally, economically and politically backward communities.

Talking about the rights of Arkavanshi, Banjara, Khangar and other backward and deprived communities, he said that efforts will continue to strengthen these societies politically.

Arvind Rajbhar also gave a sharp reaction to Shivpal Yadav's statement regarding making Azam Khan the Home Minister. He said that Shivpal Yadav is seeing such dreams with open eyes, which are not possible to be fulfilled.

Regarding Azam Khan, he said that the law takes its course in court- matters and while discussing giving political office to a person, the cases pending against him and the judicial situation should also be kept in mind. Such statements can boost the morale of criminals. There are a large number of educated and qualified youth in the country, who should get the opportunity to come forward in politics and leadership.

Arvind Rajbhar also raised questions on the PDA slogan of Samajwadi Party. He said that in politics that talks about social justice and representation of backward classes, respect and rights of all deprived communities should find real place. The public has also seen the alleged statements made by Samajwadi Party leaders regarding various backward and extremely backward communities.

It is important to strengthen the voices of communities who have been left behind politically and socially for a long time. Appealing to the youth to play a more active role in politics, he said that the new generation needs to take charge of leadership in the politics of the country and the state.

On the proposal of Uttar Pradesh government to provide financial assistance of about Rs 50 thousand to women for self-employment, Arvind Rajbhar said that it has come to light that the woman will be given assistance initially of Rs 20 thousand and then in three installments of Rs 10 thousand each.

If through such a scheme those women in rural areas are economically strengthened, who have skills but do not have enough resources to start employment or business, then it can be a useful initiative.

He further said that to truly empower women, financial assistance alone is not enough, but special attention must also be paid to girls' education. He demanded from the Uttar Pradesh government that concrete provisions should be made to make the education of daughters of the state free from primary school to higher education.

The issue of women empowerment should be seen above political allegations and counter-allegations. According to him, only by providing employment, self-employment, skill development and education opportunities to women, they can be made self-reliant in the long term.
