BJP forms fact-finding team to probe old city riots

Hyderabad, Apr 5 : The BJP today announced that it has constituted a Fact-Finding Team (FFT) to probe the cause for last week's riots in the old city of Hyderabad, and the handling of the situation after the riots by police and the administration.According to a press release here, BJP National Official spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman, holding AIMIM squarely responsible for riots, alleged that the ruling Congress government was completely bullied by their ally AIMIM. The government was ''turning a blind eye to the atrocities perpetrated by the AIMIM''.''Even during the curfew, AIMIM legislators are moving about freely. The media has reported that in the vicinity of the murder site, one MLA of the MIM was present. The Hyderabad MP belonging to the AIMIM, in blatant violation of the curfew rules, was staging a dharna in front of the police and was not arrested,'' she claimed.Criticising the Congress party on its failure to ''prevent the violence and restore peace in the affected areas'', Ms Sitharaman said, ''even today, several areas are under curfew. The failure of the government in not arresting those who knifed innocent citizens till today speaks volumes about their commitment to the law of the land.''
