Who benefits from riots?
This refers to the report, “UP Chief Minister faces protests in Muzaffarnagar” (Sept.16). It is unfortunate that political parties are engineering riots to influence the electorate. It is becoming a trend. A masjid was demolished in Ayodhya for the BJP to come to power. It is very easy to instigate riots on one pretext or other—just circulate a dated compact disc showing member of one community killing a person of another community and then send goons to start riots. People in UP have told the chief minister that they want peace. A chief minister who aspires to become the prime minister is facing allegations of communal violence. Muzaffarnagar residents are angry at loss of business which is said to be Rs.25 crores a day. The chief minister should agree to a probe by CBI instead of a judicial commission.
