Various political parties slammed the ruling Modi led government for providing Z security for BJP MLA Sangeet Som.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) decided to grant the security to Som.
Political leaders question the government's move as to how the person responsible for the riots be given security while the victims are homeless.
Manish Tewari of Congress said, "This is very uncanny about this government that the people who actually suffered in the riots do not have a shelter above their head and those who are supposed to be responsible for these riots are being provided Z security. What can be more painful than this for the sufferers of the riots".
"See I am surprised that how a person against whom there is an FIR for communal violence be provided with Z security. Those who are the reason for the riots are being provided security and those who are the victims are without shelter. I condemn this", added Rashid Alvi.
Tariq Anwar of NCP said," How can a person who plays with the feelings of a community and thereby create communal tension be provided with Z security. This kind of thing can only happen during the rule of BJP".
It may be mentioned that Som was arrested for his alleged role in uploading a fake that created communal tension in Muzaffarnagar.
