Congress wants judicial probe

The Congress on Sunday demanded an independent judicial probe by a sitting high court judge into the communal clashes in Kasganj.

"We demand an independent probe by a sitting high court judge into the incident," senior Congress leader Pramod Tiwari said. Tiwari alleged callousness and mismanagement on the part of the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh. He said the continuing violence threatened peace in the entire state.

"How did this happen? Who did it? The truth will come out only when an independent judicial probe is conducted by a sitting high court judge," Tiwari said.
