Mayawati seeks CBI probe in Gujarat riots

Chandigarh, Oct 27 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati today demanded a CBI probe into the Gujarat riots in the light of the recent Tehelka expose on the matter.

Talking to reporters at a Meet-the-Press programme at Chandigarh Press Club, Ms Mayawati said she had written a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in this regard.

'' The recent disclosures made by Tehelka make it a serious matter. A fresh inquiry should be conducted by the CBI in the Gujarat riots and strict action must be taken against those found guilty,'' she added.
