Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi launched the Congress campaign in Uttar Pradesh by addressing a mammoth rally at Aligarh. Rahul Gandhi referred to the recent Muzaffarnagar riots and said those riots were instigated by political parties. “I want to tell you something about Muzaffarnagar. Hindus and Muslims died in the riots..I spoke to both communities; they told me that there is no anger between them. Politicians have created this rift. They told me that the riots were orchestrated by the people who want to divide people”, said the Congress Vice President.
