Bjp Team In Kairana

BJP today demanded a CBI inquiry into the alleged Hindu migration in Kairana and charged the ruling Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh with giving protection to criminals from a "particular community" inciting terror there.

Only 9 people of the list of 346 given by local BJP lawmaker Hukum Singh left Kairana due to harassment by criminal elements. That was the conclusion of a district administration team which was in Kairana today to investigate Mr Singh's allegation of a mass exodus from Shamli district due to attacks and extortion, officials said.

A delegation of five opposition parties, including JD(U), CPI(M) and NCP, will on Thursday visit Kairana where it will meet residents and address a gathering of civil society, alleging that BJP's claim of exodus of Hindus and subsequent visit by a party team have created "anxiety and tension" in Western Uttar Pradesh.

A nine-member BJP team today visited Kairana in Uttar Pradesh to review the situation over alleged migration of Hindus that has set off a political slugfest even as Congress said the BJP leadership has been "totally exposed" after a party MP's U-turn on the issue.

BJP lawmaker from Uttar Pradesh Hukum Singh who had alleged a Hindu exodus from Kairana, in remarks that were then taken up by party president Amit Shah and Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu, has now said that the people leaving their homes was 'not a communal issue'.

Only the BJP can defeat the Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh, party chief Amit Shah said at a massive rally in Allahabad today, exhorting the state not to take "Kairana lightly."

A war of words broke out today over alleged migration of Hindus from Kairana in Uttar Pradesh with BJP saying it is not good for democracy and that a party team will be sent to probe the "sensitive" issue, prompting Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to accuse the BJP leaders of resorting to lies.

Political temperature over reports of migration of Hindus from Kairana in western Uttar Pradesh is all set to rise in the run-up to next year's Assembly polls with BJP today terming it as "not good" for democracy and promising "proper action" after probe by a party team into the "very sensitive matter".
