Recalling the 2016 Kairana exodus, Prime Minister Narendra on Tuesday said that a few years ago families lived in fear, daughter felt insecure going to school and many had to leave their home. “Now no criminal can dare to intimidate anyone, and the poor is heard and respected,” PM Modi said in Aligarh.
An NHRC team in 2016 had found that over 250 Hindu families had indeed left Kairana in western Uttar Pradesh due to fear of the members of a particular community which was “in majority in the area”. Their report said that the resettlement of over 25,000 members of the people in the aftermath of the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots had led to a major change in the demography of many towns in the region, including Kairana.
The issue had become a major poll plank for the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2017 UP elections, with ‘Bahu Beti Samman Bachao’ mahapanchyat being held in Muzaffarnagar and exodus finding mention in speeches of most leaders.
