News X: Political parties criticise Prime Minister's Muzaffarnagar visit, term it secular tourism

Political parties were critical of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to communal riots-hit areas of Muzaffarnagar on Monday, with BJP saying such "secular tourism" would not help and BSP terming it as a "drama". Samajwadi Party, which supports the UPA from outside, also took a dig saying it is good that the prime minister should undertake such visits as elections are nearing. BJP vice president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, "The way secular tourism is being undertaken over the issue of communal riots, it will not help provide any kind of compensation to the dead and will not heal the wounds of riot victims." BSP chief Mayawati criticised the visit saying the Centre should have taken the initiative of dismissing the Uttar Pradesh government and imposed President's Rule instead.
