January 07, 2014 16:28
Taking exception to UP government's proposed move to withdraw cases against Muslim leaders in Muzaffarnagar riots, BJP today asked Governor B L Joshi to press the government to withdraw all cases, including those lodged against its leaders, in connection with the violence.
Alleging that the government's move would disturb communal harmony in the state, the party submitted a memorandum to the Uttar Pradesh Governor, demanding his immediate intervention in the matter.
In its memorandum, BJP alleged that on the basis of reports lodged against 4,000 people in connection with the violence, police was "terrorising and financially harassing them" and the government was not concerned with that, BJP's chief spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak said.
The delegation was led by state president Laxmi Kant Bajpai.
