Amid a raging controversy over Rahul Gandhi's statement that Pakistani intelligence agencies had contacted Muslim youths in riot-hit Muzaffarnagar as part of their sinister designs, the Uttar Pradesh government today denied having any such input from intelligence bureau.
"The state has not got any such input from intelligence bureau or any other agency," Secretary (Home), Uttar Pradesh, Kamal Saxena told reporters here.
Saxena's statement comes a day after ADGP, Law and Order Mukul Goel said that UP police had no information about any such issue.
