Opinion| Aaj ki Baat Dec 19 episode: Rajat Sharma on why UP Police must expose political conspirators of the plot to incite riots in Bulandshahr

India TV News  

India TV on Wednesday night in its investigative report on the slaughter of cows in Bulandshahr, UP, described how a political conspiracy was hatched to incite communal riots by slaughtering cows in a village. Earlier in the day, UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath alleged that the Bulandshahr incident in which a police officer Subodh Kumar Singh was killed by a frenzied mob, after the cow slaughter came to notice, was part of what he called "a political conspiracy". UP Police had said on December 3 that the slaughtering of cows during the Iztema points to a diabolical plot to incite communal riots. Now that the police has exposed the cow slaughterer gang, it needs to probe deeper and expose those who were hatching a bigger plot to incite communal riots.
