NEW DELHI – A local BJP leader has filed a complaint with the Delhi police against senior Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan, accusing him of trying to create communal tension and treachery by taking the Dadri mob killing issue to the United Nations, reported 92 News. Ashwini Upadhyay, in the complaint, said, "I saw Azam Khan's media interview and also read his letter written to the UN on October 5 which have hurt my religious sentiments." However, no FIR has been registered so far. The BJP leader also accused Azam Khan of creating religious animosity between two communities by linking Dadri incident to the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992. Amid outcry over lynching of a 50-year-old Muslim man in Dadri, Azam Khan had on October 5 sought intervention of the United Nations to look into the "miseries" of minorities in India.
