Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday assured that the Samajwadi Party (SP) Government will ensure a fair probe in the fresh violence in Muzaffarnagar, and said that the guilty will be brought to book.
“Strong action is being taken against all those involved in spoiling the atmosphere in Muzaffarnagar. The Samajwadi Party will not compromise with communal forces who are trying to take advantage of such incidents,” he told media here.
Akhilesh Yadav, who has drawn sharp criticism from the leaders of various political outfits over the Muzaffarnagar violence, said some forces are trying to take advantage of such incidents because the elections are near.
Four people, including a woman, have been killed in two incidents of violence in Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, where communal clashes last month had left over 60 dead and 45,000 homeless.
The clashes occurred in the Bhaurankalan police station area, when people from two communities fought a pitched battle in which three youngsters were shot dead.
Heavy security arrangements have been made and paramilitary forces are patrolling the trouble-hit areas of Muzaffarnagar. (ANI)
