Naqvi also attacked Congress leaders for repeatedly visiting relief camps in Muzaffarnagar and accused the party of trying to “seek the sympathy” of a particular community and indulge in vote-bank politics.
In a veiled attack on Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi for making a surprise visit to Muzaffarnagar relief camps, he said the party leaders were indulging in “long holiday drives”.
“The Congress party and its leaders, when they have a holiday, they feel like going on a long drive. So on this holiday long drive, they reached Muzaffarnagar this time. A few months ago, the whole family had visited the place for doing secular tourism,” the BJP leader said.
The SP supremo had yesterday created a flutter by claiming that no riot victim was left in the relief camps in Muzaffarnagar and only supporters of Congress and BJP were staying there as part of a conspiracy to tarnish the image of his party's government in UP.
With the Uttar Pradesh government facing flak for the prevailing conditions in relief camps, Mulayam had alleged that the visit by the Congress Vice-President was aimed at inciting people.
“There are no riot victims at all in the camps. There is not even one. You can check. These are people who are conspirators. BJP and Congress have conspired. They have asked people to stay there at night and sit in dharnas. This is conspiracy of the people there.
“They (riot victims) have all gone. Congress and BJP are provoking them...,” Yadav had said.
