BJP lawmaker Hukum Singh, who had alleged a "Hindu exodus" from the Uttar Pradesh town of Kairana, has now said that it is not a "Hindu-Muslim issue". Mr Singh had last week released a list of 346 people and said they were Hindus who had fled their homes in Kairana, a Muslim-majority town in western Uttar Pradesh, because of "threats and extortion by criminal elements belonging to a particular community".
