"Incidents like Dadri and Ghulam Ali are really sad but what is the role of the Centre in these incidents?" PM Modi has told Bengali daily  Anandabazar Patrika, 

 

"The BJP does not support these incidents," he said.

 

The prime minister also accused the opposition of playing "politics of polarization,"- an allegation that is often levelled against him by his critics.

"The BJP has always opposed pseudo secularism," he said.

On September 28, 52-year-old Mohammad Akhlaq was dragged out of his home by villagers and beaten to death after announcements were made at a local temple about a calf being killed.

Many of the men arrested for the lynching are linked to a local BJP leader.

PM Modi had been criticised by opposition parties for not speaking up on the incident.
