Hitting out at Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party for 8216;raking up8217; the Jamia Nagar encounter issue, BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain today accused them of playing politics over it.
8220;All parties are politicising the Jamia Nagar encounter issue 8230; SP and BSP are repeatedly exploiting it with an eye on general elections, otherwise so many encounters take place and nobody talks about them,8221; Hussain told reporters outside Parliament.
The BJP leader said he would appeal to the Muslim community not to believe them.
SP leader Amar Singh has visited Jamia Nagar twice this month after the encounter and repeatedly raised the demand for a judicial probe into the incident.
While talking to mediapersons earlier in the day, Singh reiterated the demand saying that though he had not said anything about Delhi Police Inspector M C Sharma, who was killed in the encounter, the Muslim community as well as the media have raised doubts over the incident.
8220;When Muslims as well as the national and international media have raised doubts about the encounter, then what8217;s the harm in ordering a judicial inquiry into it. At least it will remove all the doubts from everybody8217;s minds,8221; he said.
