Ghaziabad: RLD chief Ajit Singh, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad and two BJP MPs were today detained by the police after they attempted to enter UP to visit violence-hit Muzaffarnagar district.
Singh, along with his son Jayant Choudhary, an MP from Mathura, reached UP Gate at around 11.30 AM and were detained to prevent them from proceeding towards the trouble areas, officials said.
Accusing the UP administration of failure to act in time, Singh said, “There was an incident in Shamli prior to this incident. Had the administration taken appropriate steps at that time and made the people feel that justice would prevail and police taken some action, then this situation would not have happened.”
The RLD leader said, “If the administration is not keen to maintain peace and harmony, if they are not in a situation to preserve harmony, we will go there tomorrow or in the coming days.” Later, the Civil Aviation Minister and his son decided to return to Delhi.
