Failure of Andhra Pradsh government: BJP

Hyderabad, Mar 30 : While curfew is still on in communal violence-hit areas of Hyderabad, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday said the clashed are a result of the failure if Andhra Pradsh government."Muslim fundamentalist organizations like MIM and others objected to putting up of hoarding of Shri Ram and raised buntings on the eve of Hanuman Jayanti and started attacks on temples, shops, houses and targeted even Gaushala," read a BJP press statement issued by National Spokesperson and MP Prakash Javadekar."Police remained a mute spectator despite complaints and appeals to act. Mr. Satyanarayana, who was coming out of ATM was stabbed to death in the presence of police. Rioters took full advantage of this police laxity and attacked a famous Jain Gaushala in Shamsherjung, where they burnt alive 3 cows by putting grass and petrol on them. "They even burnt cars and beat up people in front of old city police commissioner office. Police till this moment have not arrested the rioters involved in these heinous cow burnings and stabbings. This is comprehensive failure of the police and the Govt. of AP," said Javadekar.The BJP demanded judicial inquiry into the incidents of unprovoked attacks on temples, Hindus and burning of cows in Hyderabad. "This inquiry becomes more imperative in the background of a statement of Congress MP Madhu Yaski that these attacks are part of conspiracy to destabilize present CM K. Rossaih and an admission by city police commissioner that these attacks are premeditated. Both these statements are serious enough to warrant a judicial probe as they hint at a larger conspiracy intended to create communal flare up."Javadekar further said: "AP has a history of such a premeditated communal flare up for settling political scores amongst Congress leaders themselves as witnessed during the regime of M. Chenna Reddy in 1990. Statement of police commissioner is also equally revealing in its contents. "If police commissioner had prior information of this premeditated attacks, why in the first place he did not come up with a plan to prevent such ugly attacks? This must be viewed in the light of the fact that Congress and MIM alliance is ruling Greater Hyderabad Corporation.""BJP condemns the dastardly acts of burning of cows, which shows the cruelty at its worst besides attacks on temples, shops, houses and stabbings. BJP also demands arrest of rioters and brains behind them. BJP demands action against erring police officials," he added.The communal clashes in the city have left one dead and over 80 injured in the past three days. At least 130 have been arrested so far.Fresh clashed were reported on Monday evening at Moghalpura, Shalibanda, Charminar, Aliabad, Falaknuma, Shamsheergunj and Lal Darwaja areas leading to imposition of curfew in 17 police station areas of South Zone.
