Hindu-Muslim clashes rock Mograhat
Strong
Hindu defense foils Islamists’ plan to persecute Hindus en masse
As
fresh reports are coming in, the fair in village: Kamarpukur, P.S. Mograhat,
District: 24 Paraganas (South), has been rocked by a series of Hindu-Muslim
clashes, starting from evening of April 29, 2012 thus far.
In
accordance with sources, problem erupted when an Islamist wanted to give a fake
Indian currency note to a Hindu shopkeeper; he refused to accept it leading to
a scuffle between the two. The situation would have ended there if the Islamist
returned with more of his fellows to teach the Hindu shopkeeper a lesson. The
pack of Islamists torched the entire shop and whoever tried to oppose them was
beaten outrageously.
Hindu
shopkeeper cried for help desperately; Hindu youths in the vicinity, acquainted
with such postures of Islamists day in and day out, built up a strong defence
and in no time smashed a few shops of Islamists forming the said pack.
This
incident sparked off another set of troubles. Hundreds of Islamists turned up
in the venue soon started vicious attacks on Hindus soon. However, unlike other
times, Hindus did not withdraw to their houses and were found to implement
countermeasures as well. And rule of administration became the greatest
casualty as a result.
A
number of police contingents along with SDPO rushed to the spot (on the very
night) to rein in the situation.
RAF
has been deployed to maintain a vigil in the area and tension continues to grip
the area.
More
details are being awaited.
