Hindus trounce Radical Muslims in Nimichi, Minkaha
Nimichi,
a village falling under the jurisdiction of P.S. Minakha, Block: Minakha,
District: 24 Paraganas (North), happens to be an insignificant one but unlike
others has the courage to take on radical Muslims whenever necessary.
The
whole village and its vicinity, at the moment, is tense owing to the defiance
showed by Hindu youths to halt a recently held Islamic Milad at Nimichi
RamNarayan School for obvious reasons but it will be wrong to decipher the
Hindu-Muslim conflict as a recent and abrupt development only.
On
February 28, two Hindu girls were found in a field of village: Nimichi while
talking to four Muslim boys. Being conscious of the Islamic barrage of Love
Jehad, elders in the village lost no time to inform local Hindu Samhati
activists who went there to know the reality. Even if the Hindu girls had fled
by then, Muslim boys, found lying and also behaving stealthily, were taken into
the Hindu village
of Nimichi , in particular
to the residences of two Hindu girls. They, following a mild scolding, were set
free.
However,
Muslim youths, simmering in anger, were the last ones to bypass the incident. On
March 2, 2013, while entering examination hall of Bhebia High School for
Madhyamik, two of said Muslim youths met a few (aforesaid) Hindu youths (all examinees
for Madhyamik examination) and threatened to teach them a lesson. Hindu
students, as a result, informed local Hindu Samahti activists. When Hindu youths,
at 2.45 pm, were coming out from the examination hall, two Muslim examinees were
found to keep reiterating the threat but were soon overpowered by Hindus.
Getting
upset by repeated defeats, Muslim students warned that Hindus would be beheaded
if they dared to get into the adjoining Muslim-dominated village of Bokchora .
What irked Muslim students more was that Hindu youths laughed at them only
instead of getting scared stiff. To ridicule Muslims more, Hindu youths even marched
through Bokchora and witnessing their valor, Muslims had no option except opting
for a peaceful settlement.
On
March 5, 2013, at night, Gaudiya Math was robbed in Nimichi making Hindus both smell
a rat and infuriating them lots – the act was considered unanimously as a deliberate
blow to Hindus by Islamists.
Hindus
apprehended that the impending Islamic Milad (on March 6, 2013) would be of a
different type; focal point of the gathering would be to teach Hindus a lesson.
As a result, on March 5, Hindus in Nimichi pleaded to Headmaster of Nimichi
RamNarayan School to control use of microphones in Milad and also to turn the
gathering into an educational program (instead of religious) mainly.
On
March 6, 2013, at 10.30 am, when Milad was in full swing, a few Hindus (students
of the school) tried to enter the school premises but they, being Hindus, were
denied permission by both Abdullah, secretary of Milad committee, and a few
Muslim youths. An altercation took place soon but Hindus, spirited and joined by
more Hindu youths, couldn’t be overwhelmed. Once a Hindu student was attacked,
an intense clash took place making the Islamic Milad end abruptly.
Nevertheless,
timely appearance of police ended the mounting conflict.
Abdullah,
meanwhile, phoned and summoned Islamists from Bokchora to trounce Hindus. Soon,
a strong crowd containing 800 Muslims radicals with lethal weapons surfaced in
the school premises and went on the rampage. Road was blocked for hours while a
few vehicles were also vandalized.
Finding
it impossible to tame Hindus at this time, police and administration went for a
peace meeting between the two warring groups. The meeting took place at night,
on March 6, 2013.
Islamists
had lodged FIR against 11 Hindu youths, a few of them happened to be examinees.
Avik Ray and Ramaprasad Mandal, two Hindu youths, surrendered to police instead.
And both of them have been bailed out by now.
The entire area is yet to attain the cherished peace.
Muslims, in the vicinity, are threatening to celebrate the next Milad with beef
biryani angering Hindus once more.
Hindu Samhati regularly
monitors and reports violations against Hindus in West
Bengal . We also work with both governmental and NGO
agencies for proper education on protection and ensure remedies to the Hindu
populace as per prevailing law of the land.
