The Bloody Trail Ramjanmabhoomi and Communal Violence in UP Asghar Ali Engineer The wave of communal violence engineered all over the country in the wake of the BJP's 'rath yatra' and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's 'kar seva' has been the worst since 1947. In UP chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, abandoning his erstwhile 'secular' postures, has been a virtual bystander as anti-Muslim riots have erupted in most parts of the state. He has chosen not to act against either the incendiary propaganda campaign mounted by the VHP and the BJP or the partisan brutality of the PAC.
