UP Governor meets Rajnath

Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik today met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and discussed with him various issues concerning the state.
Sources said the Governor is said to have conveyed to the Home Minister about his assessment on prevailing political and law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh.
The Governor's visit to Delhi came a week after he had sent a "special" report, prepared by the state government, to President Pranab Mukherjee on the alleged migration of Hindus from Kairana, Mathura's Jawahar Bagh incident as well as the Dadri lynching.
The report was submitted by state Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to the Governor on June 26.

A controversy erupted over BJP MP Hukum Singh's claim that Hindus were forced to 'migrate' from Kairana, which was affected in the 2013 riots in Muzaffarnagar and its surrounding areas, due to law and order issues.
Ruling Samajwadi Party, however, trashed charges of "exodus", accusing the BJP of vitiating the communal atmosphere in the state ahead of the 2017 Assembly polls.

Mohammad Akhlaq, 52, was beaten to death on September 28 last year in Bisahra village of Dadri by a mob infuriated by rumours that he and his family had stored and consumed beef, triggering a fierce debate over intolerance in the country.

Violent clashes broke out between the police and illegal encroachers during an anti-encroachment drive at Jawahar Bagh on June 2 leaving 29 people dead including two police officers.
In his report, Yadav had apprised Naik on action taken on his directive over the grabbing of government land and encroachments in Mathura, sources said.
