No place for violence during protests: Mayawati

Taking a dig at the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress for participating in "violent protests" here in the Uttar Pradesh capital and in Sambhal, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Friday said that unlike other parties, BSP does not believe in destroying public property and violence.  She said: "I appeal to the people of my party not to take to the streets during the emergency prevailing in the country at this time. Instead adopt other methods of protest."
