BJP questions 'silence' over SC order on Muzaffarnagar riots

New Delhi: BJP today questioned the “silence” of other parties on the Supreme Court order which held UP government prime facie responsible for negligence in preventing Muzaffarnagar riots and wondered if they have one standard

Trivedi said the insensitive comments by the SP leaders on the riot victims were a “moral and political indictment” for the Akhilesh Yadav government and the SC order has come as a “constitutional indictment”.

BJP also targeted AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal for courting controversial Muslim religious and political leaders and said his politic was all about raking up controversies and portraying unconstitutional actions as moral.  

“His sins cannot be washed away by taking a dip in Ganga,” he said, mocking Kejriwal who had taken a holy bath in the river in Varanasi yesterday before he addressed a meeting where he announced that he would fight against BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
