Stern action against Dadri killers, even if we have to sacrifice the government : Mulayam Singh Yadav
The veteran leader also said the conspiracy was hatched by "three persons of a specific party". He, however, did not take the names.
Nine persons have so far been arrested in connection with the September 28 incident in which a mob lynched 52-year-old Mohammad Akhlaq following rumours of cow slaughter and beef consumption.
Seven of the arrested are allegedly related to a local BJP leader.
The incident triggered a huge outcry across the country with the opposition parties and prominent citizens accusing the saffron brigade and demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make a statement.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh, has however, pledged "strongest possible action" against culprits "who try to break communal harmony in the country".
