Actress and Congress politician Nagma today slammed the BJP for trying to communalise the Meerut gangrape incident.
After visiting the victim of alleged gangrape and forced conversion today at a hospital here, Nagma said BJP was trying to communalise the incident.
"No political party should be allowed to play dirty tricks to vitiate the communal feelings between the two communities. Criminal doesn't belong to any religion, they should be treated as criminals only," she said.
A group of Hindu Jagran Manch activists had reached the Yashoda Hospital here where the victim is admitted in the morning.
President of UP State Commission for Women, Zarina Usmani also visited the victim late in the evening and assured her family of all possible assistance.
A 20-year-old woman was allegedly abducted, gang-raped and forcibly converted in Kharkhauda area of Meerut district leading to communal tension there.
