Azam Khan to take Dadri incident to UN

Lucknow, Oct 7 (IBNS): Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan on Wednesday said he will take the issue of Dadri incident- in which a 52-year-old man was lynched following rumours that his family had stored and consumed beef - to the United Nations.

"I will appeal the issue to the United Nations," Khan told media.

The Union Home Secretary on Wednesday  briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Office about the issue , media reports said on Wednesday.

The matter has become a national issue with the opposition political parties repeatedly questioning the silence of PM Modi.

The home ministry received on Wednesday the Uttar Pradesh government's report on the incident. The report said Mohamman Akhlaq was killed as there were allegations that he had consumed a banned animal meat, NDTV quoted its sources as saying.

In its report, the state government also blamed politicisation of the issue for the unrest in the area.

The report has named the various politicians who visited the area - including Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Akbaruddin Owaisi and BJP Union minister Mahesh Sharma - and has recommended that action be taken against them.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Wednesday that strongest possible action will be taken against the culprits.

"Be it the state government or the central government, strongest possible action will be taken against those who try to break communal harmony in the country," he told reporters on the sidelines of a function in New Delhi.
