Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav claimed that certain forces are active to disturb communal fabric of the State just to take political mileage out of it. However, he said that his government was committed to maintain communal harmony and no one will be allowed to create disturbances.
"Some forces whose main objective is to divide people to gain political mileage became active in the State as elections were near but I will not allow them to succeed at any cost," Akhilesh alleged without naming any Political Party but he was targeting Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP).
Akhilesh made the above claims while he was addressing a gathering in Aligarh soon after distribution of free laptops which is part of state government's flagship scheme.Chief Minister said the state is on the course of ushering in a new era of development, and the government will not allow any hurdle in the way of empowerment of the common man. ``We are committed for development of the state despite of limited resources and I am happy to say that we almost fulfilled all of out poll promises in less then two years in office", claimed Akhilesh adding that the laptop scheme of his government is the first of its kind in the country, and aims at empowering the youth of the State.
Urban Development Minister Azam Khan, who was also present on the occasion chose to hit out at Rahul Gandhi for his remarks that Pakistani agencies were in touch with some Muzaffarnagar riot victims. "Rahul Gandhi is speaking the language of RSS. He should either provide evidence for his allegations or immediately withdraw his statement," Azam demanded while flaying the statement of Congress leader. Azam further attacked RSS, alleging that the Organisation was trying to fan hatred against Muslim community by spreading false propaganda.
Admitting that there were several incidents of communal flare-up in the State during SP rule, Azam, however, said "people should understand" that fascist forces, which cannot digest existence of a secular government, were behind them. "There were very few communal flare ups during regimes led by BJP and also the BSP, because the fascist forces were not interested in destabilising these governments," he added. Azam said the people, however, understand that the country can never be run successfully by a political party which does not accept the concept of religious pluralism.
Azam also alleged that Congress was not serious regarding the restoration of the minority character for AMU. "If they were serious, they would have introduced a Bill in Parliament in this regard," he said.
