June 15, 2016 08:58

A Bharatiya Janata Party probe team will on Wednesday visit Kairana to find the truth behind reports on alleged "migration" of Hindus from the Uttar Pradesh town.

On Tuesday, the Union Home Ministry had sought a detailed report from the Uttar Pradesh government to verify the allegations.

The BJP had raised the issue at its two-day National Executive meeting in Allahabad and Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju also said that "such migration, if true was unfortunate".

BJP leader and Lok Sabha MP from Kairana, Hukum Singh, has said that the exodus of people from Kairana and other places in Shamli district of Uttar Pradesh should not be given communal colour and viewed through a prism of religion.
