Mulayam visits Muzaffarnagar, attacks Modi

Muzaffarnagar, Apr 6 (IBNS): Samajwadi Party (SP) supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav on Sunday visited Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh where he attacked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and said he did nothing for the riots victims in his Gujarat.

Muzaffarnagar witnessed riots last year which left 60 people dead and close to 40,000 homeless.

"The riots which took place here were unfortunate," Yadav said while addressing a rally here.

"The Uttar Pradesh government had helped and provided assistance to the victims... In this country, such huge amount was never given as relief to riot victims in the country before," he said.

Slamming Narendra Modi over the 2002 riots in Gujarat, Yadav said: " The people of India are now doing Modi Modi. How many lives did Modi take? The Gujarat government did not even give a single rupee to riot victims."

This was Yadav's first visit to Muzaffarnagar since riots hit the area last year.

The infamous Gujarat riots of 2002 left hundreds of Muslims dead, injured and tortured and came as a blot in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rule in the state.

The riots followed an incident of train burning in Godhra in which Hindus returning from Ayodhya were killed by a Muslim mob.
