U.P. Governor calls on Rajnath Singh

July 14, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:54 am IST - New Delhi:

Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik on Wednesday met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and discussed with him various issues concerning the State.

Sources said the Governor is said to have conveyed to the Home Minister about his assessment on prevailing political and law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh.

“Special” report

The Governor’s visit to Delhi came a week after he had sent a “special” report, prepared by the State government, to President Pranab Mukherjee on the alleged migration of Hindus from Kairana, Mathura’s Jawahar Bagh incident as well as the Dadri lynching.

The report was submitted by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to the Governor on June 26.

A controversy erupted over BJP MP Hukum Singh’s claim that Hindus were forced to ‘migrate’ from Kairana, which was affected in the 2013 riots in Muzaffarnagar and its surrounding areas, due to law and order issues.

Ruling Samajwadi Party, however, trashed charges of “exodus”, accusing the BJP of vitiating the communal atmosphere in the State ahead of the 2017 Assembly polls.-PTI
