Lucknow: BJP MLA Sangeet Som, against whom arrest warrant has been issued in connection with the Muzaffarnagar riots, today said he was ready for arrest and demanded a CBI inquiry into the entire issue.
He termed the allegations as “completely baseless and far from the truth,” and claimed that the government was getting cases registered against him to appease a particular section of society.
“I have myself demanded a CBI inquiry into the entire episode and I, along with all the MLAs, am ready for arrest, but the government should act correctly and uphold the truth,” Som, who appeared in the UP Assembly despite arrest warrant against him, told reporters.
“I am being accused of instigating the people by giving inflammatory speech...if that is is the case, there would be a CD...they should show it,” Som, an MLA from Sardhana, said.
The BJP MLA exhorted the government to act judiciously.
