Congress threatens stir in U.P.

LUCKNOW, JAN. 25. Congress today threatened to launch an agitation in Uttar Pradesh next month if the Mulayam Singh Government failed to check atrocities on party workers and bring the law and order situation back on rails.

``The party will launch a massive agitation in case no improvement is perceived in the law and order situation of the State after the Assembly polls in three States in February and atrocities on Congress workers continued unabated,'' State Committee president Salman Khursheed told reporters here. Citing the recent cases of murder of two villagers in Farrukhabad district by Kalua dacoit gang, Mr. Khursheed said the blatant manner in which the dacoits struck showed that it had somebody's protection.

He also claimed that the Samajwadi Party flag was found from near the incident site and sought an inquiry into it. Reacting sharply to the killing of BSP MLA Raju Pal in Allahabad, he alleged that the police was totally inactive and had ``laid down arms before criminals''.
