Top UP minister involved in Muzaffarnagar flare-up: BJP

New Delhi: Citing a sting operation on the Muzaffarnagar riots, the BJP on Wednesday said it has been proved beyond doubt that a senior minister of the Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh is responsible

The main opposition alleged that since no action has been taken by the Centre till now, which shows Congress and SP are "hand in glove".



The party also posed pointed questions at Congress, SP and social groups which often target Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi on the issue of secularism.

"During their visit to the riot-affected area, the Prime Minister and the UP chief minister met only some sections of the people and it was clearly visible that they have a lopsided view and their visit was politically motivated," Trivedi said.

Maintaining that SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav had earlier stated that the violence in Muzaffarnagar was a caste conflict and not a communal riot, BJP sought to know what his view was now after the expose.

"We also want to ask the social groups and self-styled champions of secularism who keep harping about the Gujarat riots of 2002 why they are maintaining a shameless silence on the Muzaffarnagar riots. They seem to be motivated by their prejudices," Trivedi said.
