Tarapith – no more in safe custody
As per reports to the news desk of Hindu Samhati, serious
clashes broke out between Hindus and Muslims at Tarapith in Birbhum, renowned
Hindu pilgrimage across the globe, on 27 th November. Reportedly, the scuffle initiated
once a few Muslim youths living in neighboring Fulir Gaon tried to disrupt the traditional
Kartick Puja held behind the Tarapith temple at this time every year. To stave off any further
deterioration, organizers of the Puja along with others built up a firm
resistance. However, it turned to be abortive ultimately as the Muslim youths retreated
to their own village of Fakirpara but they came back soon and with more street
fighters. The hotspot calmed down due to the efforts of local police and to prevent
any such development again, a large contingent of police personnel was
deployed. Mutual distrust and simmering
tension prevail the environs.
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.
