Expressing serious concern over the mob lynching incident, the Janata Dal (United) on Monday asked the Samajwadi Party Government in Uttar Pradesh to stop Dadri from becoming Muzaffarnagar.
"I would like to tell the Uttar Pradesh Government to stop Dadri from becoming Muzaffarnagar, otherwise Dadri will have the same situation like Muzaffarnagar," JD (U) leader KC Tyagi told ANI.
"There has been an increase in the number of communal events before the Bihar elections," he added.
JD (U) spokesman Pawan Verma said Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) with 'criminal' backgrounds were attempting to divide the nation.
"I am a proud Hindu, but I feel ashamed when I listen to the speeches of some BJP leaders trying to divide the people, even BJP supporter Ram Jethmalani, a former law minister in the Vajpayee Government is now against PM Modi," he said.
Jethmalani had on Sunday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi, of "cheating" the people for which he should be "punished".
"Modi has cheated the people. He must suffer a defeat (in the Bihar polls). He must be punished," he said, adding, "If I had a vote, I would today vote for Nitish Kumar, because I want Modi to suffer a defeat".
Two main accused in the Dadri lynching case, Shivam and Vishal, were arrested on Saturday, raising the total number of accused in the case to eight.
Several prominent political leaders from Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal have visited Dadri in the last two days to meet the victim's family.
It may be recalled here that at least 60 persons had lost their lives in the riots, which took place in Muzaffarnagar and its neighbouring districts in September 2013.
