The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Rajasthan unit president Satish Poonia on Friday alleged that the Congress government in Rajasthan was pursuing “appeasement politics” and aiding “communalism”. He demanded a judicial probe into the communal violence in Karauli in the State.
At a press conference held at the BJP’s Delhi headquarters, Mr. Poonia and party spokesperson Rajendra Rathore had made the accusations against the Ashok Gehlot-led government in Rajasthan in the context of the communal violence in Karauli in the State. Mr. Poonia said that the Hindu community was being prevented from celebrating its festivals.
The government has imposed Section 144 of the CrPC to restrict religious marches by Hindus while giving permission to events by the Popular Front of India, a Muslim body, he said.
