Lucknow: The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has not removed the controversial hoardings, naming and shaming those accused of violence during protests against the citizenship laws, despite the high court order. Sources said that the Chief Minister has asked the law officials to prepare a petition challenging the high court order. The petition would be filed later this week.

The Allahabad High Court, on Monday, had said that the government's move to display photographs and personal details of the accused on roadside hoardings was 'an unwarranted interference in privacy'.
