UP riots: Warrant issued against political leaders

Muzaffarnagar: A court on Wednesday issued warrant against three BSP leaders, a BJP and Congress leader for inciting communal riots that claimed 48 lives in the district.

The warrants were also slapped against BSP leaders Qadir Rana, Jameel Ahmed and Noor Salim Rana, BJP MLA Suresh Rana, Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait, Naresh Tikait and Congress leader Saidul Jama.
Almost a week after four MLAs were named in an FIR charging them with instigating communal tension in Muzaffarnagar, UP Police on Wednesday cordoned off the state Assembly to arrest them.

Meanwhile, BJP president Rajnath has demanded President’s Rule in Uttar Pradesh, and accused the ruling state government of working on communal lines.
