Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) chief Chandra Shekhar Azad on Monday held Surajpal alias Narayan Sakar Hari alias Bhole Baba responsible for the July 2 Hathras stampede and alleged the district police, administration and the UP government were equally responsible for it.
The Lok Sabha MP also asked the UP government to increase the compensation to Rs 25 lakh to the families of 121 dead victims. He said Surajpal should extend a financial help of Rs 1 crore on his own since he is “not a poor man”.
After meeting some patients and their families in the hospital in Hathras, he said he has appealed to the doctors to provide better care and get the victims’ MRIs done considering their complaints of pain in their knees and stomach.
