V P Singh demands CBI probe into 'madarsa' case

Allahabad, Jan 31 (UNI) Jan Morcha (JN) President and former Prime Minister Vishwa Nath Pratap Singh today demanded a CBI probe into the alleged gang rape of two 'madarsa' students here.

Talking to newspersons after meeting the victims, Mr Singh demanded adequate security arrangements for them and their family members.

Mr Singh alleged ''pressure is being made on the girls to change their versions.'' ''Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav poses himself to be a well wisher of the Muslims but in actual he is 'anti-Muslim'. This was proved when he did not even spend a moment with the victims during his recent visit to the Ardh Kumbh Mela,'' he further alleged.

''Mulayam Singh opened his 'tizori' before providing an assistance of Rs 2 lakh to the victims but did not feel ashamed even one. Chief Minister should take the responsibility on moral grounds,'' he said.

''Victims want justice not money,'' he added.

On January 17, posing as policemen, miscreants stormed into a 'madarsa' hostel in Kareli area and criminally assaulted two girl students.
