New Delhi: Charging that some main political parties are trying to “dangerously” disturb the communal harmony in Uttar Pradesh ahead of Lok Sabha polls, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav today warned such forces of stringent action.
He also demanded that the Centre put in place a mechanism to check misuse of social media and mobile phones to fan communal tension.
“At present, it seems that some of the main political parties are trying to dangerously harm the communal harmony of the state in view of 2014 general elections. Efforts are on (by them) to polarise people of the state,” Yadav said during a meeting of National Integration Council (NIC) here.
He said small incidents like vehicle accidents, eve teasing, which can be sorted out at local or panchayat level, are being converted into big problems by vested interests.
