New Delhi: Popular Front general secretary OMA Salam condemned the recent communal incidentsĀ in various parts of Uttar Pradesh which so far claimed two lives and caused huge loss of properties.It is noteworthy that communities are turning hostile to each other ahead of elections as happened in earlier elections.
It is suspected that the hands of those communal politicians who had drawn theirĀ lessons from earlier riots and had enjoyed its fruits are playing behind this. It is unfortunate that theĀ oppressed and minority communities, instead of uniting and striving together for their rights, areĀ responding to the situation exactly the same way their enemies wanted them to.
He urged them to beĀ tolerant and patient to each other. The community leaders on either side should make sure that theirĀ members are not plying at the hands of these politicians and should stay vigilant against any suchĀ attempts. Whoever involved in this violence should not be supported by the communities and mischiefĀ makers should be isolated.
He also called on UP government that real culprits be brought to book. Popular Front, in collaborationĀ with the leaders of affected communities, will initiate effective methods to avoid future occurrences.————IANS
