Dadri a "pre-planned conspiracy", linked to Muzaffarnagar riots: Mulayam

October 8, 2015

Lucknow, Oct 8: Breaking his silence over the Dadri lynching incident, SP Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today claimed it was a "pre-planned" conspiracy hatched by three persons of a particular party and that they were also behind the 2013 riots in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district.MULAYAM

Upping the ante over the lynching of 52-year-old Iqlakh over rumours of beef consumption in Dadri in UP's Greater Noida, the Samajwadi Party(SP) supremo said stern action will be taken in the matter "even if we have to sacrifice the government."

"The Dadri incident was a pre-planned conspiracy...you will come to know the names. According to the information I have gathered, three persons related to a particular party are behind the incident," Yadav, a former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, alleged at a news conference here.

Yadav claimed that the three persons were also behind the 2013 communal riots in Muzaffarnagar in which 62 people were killed.

"I talked to my party members and they said these three persons were also behind the riots in Muzaffarnagar. They succeeded in killing people, but failed to break communal harmony," he added.

Yadav said a party delegation will be sent to Dadri after which it will become clear who these three persons were.

"We will take stern action once the names are clear, whatever sacrifices the government has to make...even if we have to sacrifice our government, we will crush the communal forces," he added.

He said it was a conspiracy "to oppress the people of a specific community. The SP will not allow this conspiracy to succeed".

He also claimed that communal forces were hatching conspiracies against the SP government which, he said, was gaining popularity because of its development works.

"I want to urge Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has given the slogan of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas' and is also an MP from Uttar Pradesh to think over it seriously," he said.

The (Dadri) conspiracy was hatched to break the confidence of the people in SP, he said, adding, "It was a serious incident. It happened at a time when his son was protecting the country's border. It has to be taken seriously."

Bengaluru, May 22: Amazon.com Inc’s India unit said it would hire 50,000 temporary workers to meet a surge in online shopping in the country, where customers have been stuck indoors for two months in a lockdown to fight the coronavirus outbreak.

E-commerce firms faced massive disruption in the initial days of the lockdown in India, but a slow easing of the stringent regulations has allowed them to resume large parts of their operations.

"We want to continue helping customers all over India get everything they need so they can continue to practice social distancing," Amazon senior executive Akhil Saxena said in a statement on the company's blog. (bit.ly/2A1Wv7O)

“(The move) will also keep as many people as possible working during this pandemic while providing a safe work environment for them,” said Saxena, Amazon’s VP for customer fulfillment operations in APAC, MENA & Latam.

The temporary hires will work in Amazon’s fulfillment centers and as part of its delivery network, the company said, making the announcement at a time when various other companies in the country have been forced to cut jobs as they try to tide over the health crisis.

Amazon itself has pushed its annual global Prime Day event, traditionally a summer affair, to September, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

In India, where the Jeff Bezos-led company faces stiff competition from Walmart Inc’s Flipkart, Amazon earlier said it plans to create 1 million jobs by 2025.

The company also said on Thursday it plans to enter the food delivery business in India, pitting itself against well-established startups such as Swiggy and Zomato.
