Rahul Gandhi's statements could compromise national security: Azam Khan

25 Oct 2013 Evaluate

Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan alleged that Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi is making statements and remarks that could compromise national security. Reacting to Gandhi's remark on Muslim youth victims of the Muzaffarnagar riots being approached by Pakistan intelligence, Khan said the Uttar Pradesh Government had no knowledge of the intelligence information that the Congress number two spoke of at a rally yesterday.

Azam Khan said that an IB officer to disclose the secret to him when he does not hold a governmental post, and then to put that secret in a public space damages the integrity of the government. Khan also urged Rahul Gandhi to come forward with the names of the Muslim youth that were allegedly contacted by Pakistani agents to help the Samajwadi Party-led Uttar Pradesh to take action accordingly.

Earlier on Thursday, while maintaining his claim that the BJP has been igniting communal fires across the country, Rahul Gandhi revealed at a rally in Indore that 10 to 15 Muslim boys, who had lost their families in the recent riots in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, are being contacted by Pakistani intelligence. Violence broke out in the Kawal area of Muzaffarnagar on August 27, when members of a community returning from a panchayat meeting in Naglabadhod, three kilometres from Kawal, clashed with members of another community.
