New Delhi: Minister of State for External Affairs and leader of Indian Union Muslim League E. Ahamed who visited violence affected Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts of Uttar Pradesh has asked UP chief minister Ahilesh Yadav to take “stringent measures against those who create hatred among the different sections of the people belonging to different religion.”
Ahamed was accompanied by Member of Parliament ET Mohamed Basheer and other IUML national and state level office bearers.
In his four-page letter Ahamed has asked the state government to take measures to help the people affected by the violence.
“Effective steps should be taken by the Government to bring back the people who left their houses and properties to their respective villages.” Ahamed suggested that govt work with various social and political organizations to gain confidence of the victims. He also suggested an All Party meeting of the senior leaders.
The communal violence has taken the life of over 40 people and has displaced thousands of people, overwhelmingly Muslims, in the two districts of Uttar Pradesh.
E. Ahamed raised the questions of people whose homes were partially or fully damaged during the violence and those who lost their loved ones.
Mr. Ahamed suggested setting up an SIT for investigation and a team for quick distribution of compensation.
