UP communal conflicts artificially engineered: Rahul Gandhi

UP communal conflicts artificially engineered: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, Aug 9 (IBNS) Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi in an interview has said the communal violence in Uttar Pradesh are artificially engineered.

In an interview to Indian Express published on Saturday, Gandhi said: “Communal conflict is being artificially and deliberately engineered in our country, especially in Uttar Pradesh. This is a deliberate strategy to divide the poor of this country and pit brother against brother; to prevent people from uniting to fight the true enemy — inequality, poverty and lack of opportunity.”

“This politics of promoting polarisation and divisiveness for electoral gain must end,” he told the newspaper.

He said the  communal incidents go “against the very heart of this nation and causes deep damage to the foundation upon which it was built… It poses unimaginable long-term dangers for the future of our country”.

Rahul Gandhi recently led his party in Parliament on the issue and demanded debate on the Communal Violence Bill in view of the Meerut situation where a teacher was gang-raped by members of another community and was alleged forced to convert.
