Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government
tonight dismissed as "misleading and baseless" media reports
that the Centre was not satisfied with its report on the
Bareilly riots.

A state government spokesman said it has not received
any such letter from the Union government.

Media reports suggesting that the Central government
was not satisfied with the report submitted by the state
government were totally "misleading and baseless", he said.

He said though unfortunate incidents occurred in
Bareilly, effective action was taken and the situation was
brought under total control.

Now, Bareilly was totally peaceful, he pointed out.
