RLD chief Ajit Singh today raised questions over the NHRC report on alleged migration of Hindu families from Kairana in Shamli district saying the findings are "meaningless".
He said the NHRC team talked to a very limited number of affected families which raises questions over it credibility.
"The report by the Commission on exodus has no meaning. It was said 346 families had migrated from Kairana of which NHRC talked to only six and prepared its report...They could have talked to other families," he said replying to a question from reporters on the report here.
Singh said migration is not a big issue. "People all over the world migrate to areas promising better avenues."
The NHRC report, parts of which were made public on the rights body's website yesterday, seems to be validating what BJP MP Hukum Singh had initially said about the migration.
Based on its findings, the Commission has sent a notice to the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police of the state to submit an action taken report, on the observations and recommendations of the team within eight weeks.
It its report, conducted by a four-member team comprising deputy SP Ravi Singh and inspectors Suman Kumari, Saroj Tiwari and Arun Kumar, NHRC found over 250 Hindu families had indeed left due to fear of members of a particular community which was "in majority in the area" (Muslim community in this case).
The NHRC probe team found that many families "migrated" from Kairana due to threats pertaining to "increase in crime" and "deterioration" of law and order there.
