Kali Puja Procession attacked in Uluberia, Howrah

On 31st October, evening, an immersion procession of Kalipuja, organized by several local clubs of Uluberia, subdivisional town of Howrah district, was proceeding with drums and music. At Bhakta crossing near Uluberia railway station local Muslims objected to the procession saying they will not allow it to pass by their mosque. As Hindus in the procession protested and resisted, there was scuffle. The Muslim goons demolished the Hindu shops on the station road. 4 Hindus were severely injured and admitted to Uluberia General Hospital. One of them, Sri Debashish Das, is fighting for his life. When the agitated Hindus started a peaceful demonstration the police came and arrested 3 Hindus and 2 Muslims. A case was registered against 61 Hindus. All of them will have to surrender before the district Court and take bail. The very next day on 1st November morning, Muslims gathered in a large number and blocked the road for 4 hours. The police, RAF, the Inspector in charge of Uluberia police station, the SDO, all stood helplessly and took no action to lift the roadblock. The Muslims threatened that next time they will not allow any immersion procession with Hindu idols to pass by their masjid. Duly alarmed, the Hindus attempted to submit a memorandum to the SDO and IC but they sternly refused to accept. Being turned away by the forces of Law, 22 local Hindu clubs held a joint meeting and discussed for their next course of action. Today again members of 30 Hindu clubs gathered and resolved that they will take the immersion procession of Jagaddhatri Puja through the same route on 8th November. The situation is very tense. The administration is trying to suppress the Hindu outrage simply because they are absolutely unable to contain Muslim reaction. Maybe it’s the Lok Sabha Elections in the first half of 2009 that is the cause for this administrative paralysis. Now as the Parliamentary elections are near the Muslims can clearly bargain their votes against mayhem and disorder.

It must be mentioned here that this is the place/town where local left front MLA, now a minister, Robin Ghosh, a few years back led thousands of local armed Muslims and snatched 100 Bangladeshi infiltrators from Mumbai Howrah train who were being escorted by the Maharashtra Police to be handed over to the BSF for pushing back into Bangladesh. The infiltrators were then allowed to melt into the local Muslim population. The Left Front made him a minister.

On 19th October, 2008, in this very Uluberia town, Puja ghosh (16) was molested by the Muslim goons led by one antisocial Ala Sheikh, when she was going home after attending a VHP camp at nearby Sarada Shishu Mandir. In fact the whole of Howrah district is now a disturbed zone for the Hindus. Countless incidents are taking place every day in both rural and urban areas of this district.
