The Yogendra Yadav-led Swaraj India today alleged that Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar was "communalising" the atmosphere here by making "irresponsible" statements.

The party's reaction came after Khattar, on Sunday, in the wake of alleged disruptions to namaz by right-wing groups at multiple locations here, said such congregations should be restricted to mosques, idgahs or private places.

Terming the Khattar's statement "unfortunate", Yadav said, "At a time when the CM should have tried to calm down tempers, he is making irresponsible statements resulting in communalisation of the atmosphere."
