"We have given free hand to police to deal with people who break the law. National Security Act will also be invoked if required," he said in an interview to DD News. Talking about Saharanpur riots, Yogi said that the illegal mining mafia orchestrated it only to divert attention from their activities. "Bhim Army is being funded by them." Yogi Adityanath is the founder of the Hindu Yuva Vahini, a social, cultural and nationalist group of youth who seek to provide rightist Hindu platform. He founded the organisation in April 2002, on the day of Ram Navmi.
