Maya writes to PC on Ayodhya security

Chief Minister Mayawati has demanded that the Centre deploy sufficient number of Rapid Action Force personnel to maintain communal harmony in the state in the wake of the tabling of the Liberhan Commission report in Parliament. In this connection,Mayawati wrote to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Tuesday.

In the letter,Mayawati has said that political,religious and communal activities are gradually increasing the samvedanshilta (sensitivities) in the state,particularly in Varanasi,Ayodhya,Mathur and Lucknow. In the wake of such a situation,she has pleaded that it is necessary to maintain status quo near the disputed area in Ayodhya,besides maintaining proper security arrangement near disputed sites in Mathura and Varanasi.

Mayawati also informed Chidambaram that she has asked the state administrative machinery and the intelligence wing to remain on alert. She has,however,alleged in her letter that the state government is not getting specific inputs from the Central intelligence agencies.

Mayawati reminded the Home Minister that December 6,the anniversary of the Babri Masjid,is very near. Besides,Moharram falls on December 28,she stated.
