PM asks Rajnath to order high-level probe into police firing

Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Thursday night spoke to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Rajnath Singh and asked him to order a high-level inquiry into the 'unfortunate' police firing on violent demonstrators in Lucknow in which three persons were killed.

Vajpayee condemned the violence, which erupted in some parts of Lucknow following the ban imposed on the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and arrest of some of its activists, and appealed to the people to maintain communal harmony, PMO sources said.

Describing the killings in the police firing as 'unfortunate', Vajpayee said, "At a time when the country needs to demonstrate unity and communal harmony in its fight against global terrorism, such incidents should not happen in any part of the country."
