Muzaffarnagar: 50 lives for first political arrest, but why BJP first?

Muzaffarnagar, Sept 20: The first political arrest has finally come, after 9 days of wait and bloodshed. The Akhilesh government might have taken its own time to take this decision, but Suresh Rana from

is finally behind the bars.

That gets us thinking, why didn't the leader start with his own party members? After all, the sting operation by Headlines Today against Azam Khan clearly showed how he influenced police actions by ordering authorities to release the Muslims and not take any actions against them.

Good that the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh has finally opened his eyes to the situation of his state, but its too late already. What could have been stemmed at the beginning took the lives of 50 and injured many, rendering others homeless. But if he was a 'true' leader, he should have started off with his minister from Samajwadi Party first, the allegations against whom are no less than inciting communal tension. Or is Akhilesh buying time to save him?
