Criminal cases in religious riot

BBC News, Lucknow

Criminal cases have been filed by the authorities against several politicians after religious riots in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Eight people were killed in the riots that broke out between Hindus and Muslims after a dispute, during a Hindu festival in the town of Mau.

The area has been under indefinite curfew since the riots last Friday.

The state government has also ordered an inquiry into administrative lapses in controlling the clashes.

Allegations

A local legislator, Mukhtar Ansari and some other local leaders affiliated to the Bharatiya Janata Party have been accused of inciting religious clashes.

The authorities said police teams have been sent to arrest Mr Ansari.

Mr Ansari has denied the allegations.

He told the BBC that he had tried to pacify the people and taken the injured to hospital.

Mr Ansari demanded that the federal agency - Central Bureau of Investigation- should probe the incident.

Officials say eight died and 36 were seriously injured after clashes broke out following a dispute during the Hindu Dussehra festival.

Authorities say the curfew in the eastern town of Mau town is likely to be relaxed for some time on Wednesday as situation is gradually returning to normalcy.

Senior civil servant Alok Sinha made this announcement in a news conference in the state capital, Lucknow, after returning from Mau.

Train services will also be resumed on Wednesday, he said.

More than 300 people have been arrested for violating an indefinite curfew that has been in effect in the area since Friday.

Inquiry

Additional riot control police and paramilitary forces have also been deployed in the area.

Several local passenger trains have been cancelled for the third day in eastern parts of the state while some long-distance trains are being diverted to other routes.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav has temporarily dismissed several top district officials and started an inquiry into administrative lapses in controlling the riots.

Mau is located near the historic city of Varanasi and has a predominantly Muslim population.

The town is known for its traditional weaving of silk saris.

Last week’s clashes has resulted in huge financial losses for the people in the town.

This is what is called Indian secularlism. Muslims and other minorities routinely attacked, even burned, raped and butchered, while fundementalist Hindu governments are re-elected to power with bigger majorities, and minorties thrown in jail!

And how this conflict started?..Muslims objected to Hindus’ celeberation of their religious festival during Ramzan.

Bharati democrazy…shall we give up democracy and adopt your methods to deal with minorities?

Re: Bharati Minorities in danger: Major riots in UP: Only a Muslim politician accused

How do you claim that Muslims objected to Hindus’ celebration of their festival? The article suggests that there was inciting behind the riots… what do you know if some fanatic Hindus threw religious slurs at Muslims to incite riots?

Anti,

Stop your lies. Your title says "only a Muslim politician accused" while the report you pasted says: " local legislator, Mukhtar Ansari and some other local leaders affiliated to the Bharatiya Janata Party have been accused of inciting religious clashes"

Has Hitler Modi been arrested for his part in the pogrom against Muslims in Gujrat? Nah, wasn't he returned to power by a his Hindu voters, with an ever bigger majority? Indian secularlism = votes for Nazi Hindu's.

Trouble began Thursday evening when members of a particular community raised objections over the celebration of Bharat Milap, a part of Dussera festivities, in Shahi Katra grounds in Mau, Yadav said.
Angered by the objections, members of the other community indulged in heavy stone-pelting and opened fire, which continued till this morning, leading to injuries to about a dozen people, Yadav said adding, one person, who had received gunshot injuries during the cross-firing, died in hospital later.

Above given are two paragraphs from a news item. Just have a look at the reporting.

  1. ‘Members of a particular community raised objections’…..which community???….Indian media is afraid of naming the community which objected to Hindu religious procession.

  2. It does not mention that a bomb was thrown at the Hindu procession. It states as if the riots were one-sided.
    So, ……Can anyone guess which ‘Community objected to Hindu religious festival’ at Mau???

Guys,

for those who are willing to go beyond preconcieved notions...

Mulayam Singh Yadav is anti-BJP as anybody can be. He is seen as a hero by muslims to the extent that the nick-name for him is 'maulana mulayam'. He is in power in UP

The legislator who has been arrested is a supporter of Mulayam's government (which is by the way a minority government, in power because the congress is supporting it reluctantly to keep the BJP away). Hence, every single supporting MLA is cruical for Mulayam's survival. And, Mulayam is not known for shying away from protecting his cronies even if they were the deadliest of criminals.

If in spite of the above, the MLA has been arrested, it is because most reports agree that he was the one who incited the muslim mob to attack. Some newspapers carried photographs of this. A few also reported that he was the one who actually fired at the hindu procession.

Fishing in troubled waters or inciting people on the basis of religion is not the sole prerogative of only hindus. Whoever thinks they gain by that, do.

^^ Typical Bharati disinformation against minorities.
Even Rediff has different versions of the incident provided via it's own links.

It looks like (and I may be wrong) that some followers of Hinduism wanted to do some "band-baja" somewhere close to the non-Hindu areas. When non-Hindus objected, the band-baja people started pelting stones and the thingy escalated.

Roping in politicians (swines) is always a good thing, However we shouldn't forget the lack of tolerance on part of Hinduism's followers.

Yes it is typical, when our semi-educated media is afraid of mentioning a particular community for offences. And later the Islamic media exploits this disinformation in its favor.

Re: Bharati Minorities in danger: Major riots in UP: Only a Muslim politician accused

antiobl, use your brains. Why would a chief minister for whom every single MLA is critical, and one who was known for his leanings towards muslims and who was till recently a patron of the mla, order his arrest unless there was an extremely sound reason for this and which he couldn't brush under the carpet?

happy Birthdayy ... [merged]

Re: Bharati Minorities in danger: Major riots in UP: Only a Muslim politician accused

Yes, it is correct. If a lame Pakistan was not carved out in 1947, it could creat more damage to Indian society.
Today Muslims are in good numbers starting from Sindh, crossing via North India, ending in East Bengal covering all eastern States of India.
In fact Patel and Nehru saved India from greater cuts in coming future by throwing away a lame Pakistan…which was bound for a further division.

Re Hindu-Muslim squirmishes…Where Muslims are at peace…even in Islamic states?

Yes, I always agree…Long live Pakistan!:jhanda:

Pakistan lacks stability…that is a problem for all, especially for India.

Making of bangladesh has noting to do with why Pakistan was created. A great decision to have freedom from Hindustani Samraaji mentality, killing minoritis on regular basis. Stay with the topic.
