- MANISH GODHA / Jaipur

The opposition BJP in Rajasthan is in attacking mode on the Karauli violence issue and has now claimed that

Hindus are migrating from Karauli. The Rajya Sabha MP of BJP from Rajasthan Kirori Lal Meena has claimed that 7 families have to leave Karauli after the violence. The BJP has also reached governor Kalraj Mishra regarding the violence issue urging him to intervene in the matter.

“Seven families have migrated from Karauli after the incident of violence. Two of them are of Bari Dhoulpur and have returned to Bari. Apart from this, I have given a list of 195 families who have to get away from Muslim dominated areas to some other places in Karauli,’ claimed Meena in a press conference at BJP office in Jaipur.

It is to mention here that

Meena had staged a Dharna in Karauli on Saturday and handed over this list of alleged migrants to the administra­tion. The administra­tion after verifying the list had denied any migration.

Reacting to the denial by the administra­tion, Meena said that 90 per cent of migrated families are Dalits and now administra­tion and local Congress leaders are threatenin­g them for the statements they have given regarding their migration.

BJP state president Satish Punia and deputy leader of BJP in assembly Rajendra Rathore have accused the state of making an atmosphere of fear on festivals among the majority community by imposing prohibitor­y orders under Section 144 CrPC in 17 districts. They said Rajasthan has never witnessed such fear that in some places people could not even celebrate Ramnavmi.
