TIL Desk/National/Kairana-Charging the ruling Samajwadi Party government with patronising criminals of a certain community, a delegation of BJP parliamentarians today demanded a CBI probe into the so-called exodus in Kairana and other places. Based on the June 15 Kairana visit of a nine-member team comprising six MPs, two MLAs and a former DGP, the BJP delegation today submitted a memorandum to Governor Ram Naik.
The party has demanded a stern punishment for criminals, policemen and officials responsible for the “exodus”. It has also demanded the state government to announce a special package for the migrants and ensure their safety so that they can return to their former houses.
Both the Samajwadi Party and the BSP lashed out at the BJP for allegedly fuelling communal tension ahead of the 2017 elections. Cabinet Minister Shivpal Singh Yadav said: “There is no exodus in Kairana or anywhere in the state. We have intelligence and other reports in this regard. BJP leaders Hukum Singh and others are inciting communal passions for political gains as the Assembly elections are round the corner”.
