Muzaffarnagar: How UP govt made blunders, failed to gauge communal tension

Lucknow: In a belt famous for communal harmony among the Jat Hindu farmers and Muslims for centuries, the Samajwadi Party government completely failed to gauge the communal tension that was simmering for the last one



As news spread about the lynching, violence spread right up inside the town of Muzaffarnagar. The state police was in a totally helpless situation, and army was then called in.



The question now arises: how could a state government which had refused permission to the VHP to organise the 84 kosi parikrama yatra and foiled it by deploying a huge number of policemen, give permission to the organisers of the bahu-beti bachao mahapanchayat? Particularly, at a time when everybody knew that tension was simmering, whereas Ayodhya and Faizabad were converted into huge cantonments?
