Samajwadi
Party disowns Mukhtar Ansari
New
Delhi: The ruling Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh, on
Monday distanced itself from Mukhtar Ansari, the legislator
alleged to have instigated the Mau riots. Mau, a small town
situated nearly 300 kilometres from Lucknow, witnessed communal
tension after a minor altercation between Hindus and Muslims
on using loudspeakers during Dussehra on October 14. Hindus
said they had switched off the loud speakers as it was objected
to during Muslim prayers for breaking the Ramadan fast, and
had resumed it once they were over but many Muslims denied
the claims saying the flamboyant festivities hurt their sentiments.
It was alleged that trouble brewed up when Mukhtar Ansari,
an independent legislator instigating violence. Amar Singh,
General Secretary, Samajwadi Party, refuted media reports
that Ansari belonged to the ruling party, saying the legislator
only supported it. "A negative publicity has been created
that Mukhtar Ansari is a member of Samajwadi Party which is
absolutely wrong as he is an independent candidate. He is
just supporting the Samajwadi Party. Though media has hyped
him as a member of the party, it is not so. It's not a question
of party or a person, it's a question of the death of innocent
people and even if he is a member of the SP, the Mulayam Singh
government will make sure that the guilty is punished," said
Amar Singh to reporters in New Delhi. Singh also accused the
Congress government of conspiring against the Samajwadi party.
"The deaths that have taken place due to violence is shameful
and the state government has already expressed its condolence
but the timing of the violence just as elections are approaching
compels us to think that it's a conspiracy by the Congress
government against the ruling government. The fact that the
governor was sent to violence-hit Mau despite the orders by
the State Government throws light on the fact," said Singh.
Meanwhile, authorities have decided to relax curfew in the
riot- hit place even as raids were on to nab Ansari.
