    What's the story

    UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath waded into the ongoing Mohammed Ali Jinnah's portrait row in Aligarh Muslim University and said there was no question of glorifying the first Pakistani Prime Minister.

    Before leaving for a campaign in poll-bound Karnataka, Adityanath apparently hinted he would not support those glorifying Jinnah.

    However, the CM said violence wasn't the solution and miscreants will be brought to justice.

    "How can we glorify a person who was responsible for the partition of the country? There is no question of anyone being allowed to glorify Mohammed Ali Jinnah or celebrate any event related to him in any part of the country," said Adityanath.

    The CM added he is awaiting a report and will take action against those who incited violence.
