Law and order was in a precarious state in Rajasthan, Union Minister for Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said on May 3, reacting to alleged communal violence in Jodhpur late on May 2, in which five policemen were reportedly injured in stone-pelting.
Pointing out another incident of communal clash at Karauli in the State on April 2, Mr. Naqvi said, “It is surprising that Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot keeps preaching peace to the entire country but is unable to maintain it in his own backyard.”
