Dadri lynching: Cong asks PM to break 'deafening silence'

October 05, 2015 20:29

Congress today demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi "break his silence" over the alleged "provocative" statements by BJP leaders in connection with the Dadri lynching, saying that not doing so would suggest that they had his "approval".

The party also condemned Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan for saying he would take up the issue with United Nations.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi maintains a deafening silence qua the inflammatory, provocative and incendiary statements aimed at rabble-rousing by Union ministers and BJP leaders.

"He should clarify and break his silence or else it will be construed that they have your approval," Congress leader Pramod Tiwari said.

Alleging that the ministers, MPs and MLAs of BJP were fanning communal fire by their well-thought-out "seditious agenda", he further claimed that they were "aided and abetted by your co-conspirators of the ilk of Samajwadi Party ministers and the Owaisi brothers".
