The so called mass migration of Hindu families from Kairana in Uttar Pradesh has been grabbing headlines for the past 3-4 days and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday said the Uttar Pradesh's Akhilesh Yadav government should take the responsibility for this.

"If people have to leave their village in their own country, then the state government should take the responsibility. If the state government seeks any help from us, we will definitely provide them," said Kiren Rijiju, Minister of State for Home.

"The Uttar Pradesh government should take a note of the deteriorating law and order situation and comprehend over it. Hooliganism, hostility and looting, land-related problems etc are rampant in the state, which is adding to people's resentment against the government. The law and order situation has deteriorated to a greater extent and the government must ponder on it. For the development of the state, the government needs to ensure people's safety, which is not happening in Uttar Pradesh," he said.

When asked if the Uttar Pradesh government had sent its report to the MHA, Rijiju said, "We have not received a report from the state government. The state government should have sent its report."

The minister also dispelled the notion that the SIT is re-opening the 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases keeping in mind the upcoming Punjab polls. "SIT officials are professional, they know their work. The government has nothing to do with it," he remarked.
