Congress claims BJP sponsored communal violence in Madhya Pradesh

MP, 14/3: Congress on Wednesday alleged that the ruling BJP “sponsored” the recent communal violence witnessed in parts of Madhya Pradesh, and the statements of the Chief Minister and Home Minister were not helpful for the maintenance of peace.

 

In a memorandum submitted to the state Director General of Police here, the opposition party also alleged that the houses of those allegedly involved in violence were being pulled down without following due procedure.

 

The BJP was running a parallel law and order machinery in Madhya Pradesh, it claimed. The ruling party has been “misusing the power” and “sponsored the communal violence in Raisen, Ratlam, Khargone and Sendhwa,” Congress alleged.
