While the administration is slowly turning its gaze away from Talhan with the situation limping back to normal, it is learnt that some political leaders during their visits to the village are trying to re-ignite communal fires.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in its recent report sent to the Home Ministry mentioned that some political leaders — including those from the BJP, the BSP and the Congress — have been instigating Jats and Dalits against each other.
Sources said the CIA report said while people from both castes want to maintain peace, some political leaders are provoking them against each other. The Home Ministry is also seeking reports on the situation in Jalandhar district, which was hit by caste clashes recently. The report added that routine rivalries are being given a communal colour by unscrupulous persons.
