The Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded CBI probe into the Muzaffarnagar riots saying that Justice Vishnu Kant Sahai report on riots was fabricated and was aimed to give the Akhilesh Yadav Government a clean chit.
“The Term of reference of the one man Vishnu Sahai committee was to find out the reasons of the riot that singed Muzaffarnagar and its adjoining areas. Unfortunately, the probe panel has failed to find the real cause. It only gave a clean chit to the Akhilesh Yadav Government,” BJP spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak said in a statement issued here on Monday.
He said that the Government should recommend CBI probe into the riot so that the truth can come to light as who are the people responsible for sparking pogrom. “The BJP is of firm belief that Samajwadi Party Government and its ministers were behind the riot. Unless the probe is carried out by a central investigating agency the truth will not come out,” he said.
The BJP spokesman said that call details of the all the senior political leaders and ministers should be examined. The call details of the district officials will also throw light as who are the people behind this riot. “This can only be done by CBI so that case should be handed over the CBI,” he said.
The BJP spokesman also questioned BSP chief Mayawati for trying to put SP and BJP on same bracket. “BSP is doing politics on this issue. When Muzaffarnagar riot took place SP and BSP were supporting UPA Government. Mayawati should first explain her party’s relation with SP,” he said.
