Friday, January 10, 2014 Clamor in Topsia for mosque send shudder of fright
Turning worstapprehensions depicted through the article Communal tensions over mosquesheightening (published in this website of late) into truth, Topsia in Kolkata todaywas thrown out of gear for consecutive hours following clamors and disruptiveactivities of a large group of hoodlums hell-bent to grab the Asgar MistriMosque under Hafez Dilawar Hossain Wakf State within the jurisdiction of Topsiapolice station. Tension that any such sinister development would take place wasprevalent in the area, enjoying an overwhelming Hindu population, and the fearheightened through recurrent malicious propaganda in the environs againstHindus and also slanderous campaigns against Mamata Banrejee, Chief Minister ofBengal. Even if police tired to ward off criminal offense today, they, beingordered by political taskmasters to retain a strong minority support, had toremain silent for most of the time.

This event is a dangeroussignal to all, especially when religious antagonism is becoming order of theday fast and Hindu persecution across the border in Bangladesh is instigating agroup of people to enact the same in this part of the border also. Fears do notend here these incidents are becoming common increasingly across Bengalreplacing the old concept of Love Jihad and commencing any trouble anywhere toexpress martial prowess. An ominous era prevails in Bengal.Posted byUnknownat6:26 AM1 comment: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Wednesday, January 8, 2014 Communal tensions over mosques heightening It hascome to knowledge from sources that on January 3, 2014, a few prominent leadersof Muslim community, following Jumma Namaz in the mosque situated at SamsulHuda Road, Kolkata 17, mulled over the fate of two mosques for hours.
One ofthe two mosques happens to be the Hazi Benku Lane Mosque, located at No. 13Konnagar under the jurisdiction of the police station of Uttar Para in thedistrict of Hooghly. It has also been learnt, the mosque and its adjoiningproperty was purchased by an individual named Subrata Sengupta for a realestate project. But commencement of the venture led to an uproar in the area.To stop the project, Muslims asked the local administration to let them offer namazin the adjoining land (lying vacant) but the proposal was refuted by Uttar Parapolice station outright. To stave off any untoward development, the propertywas termed as disputed and Section 144 of CrPC was imposed. The notice wasconveyed to Muslim intellectuals and clerics as well. However, this failed toend the fiasco. According to sources, Section144 was declared at No. 12 Benku Lane while the address of mosque and itsadjoining property is No. 13 Benku Lane, Konnagar, Hooghly.
A teamof Ghazis is being set up to recover the mosque with the property; they aregearing up to offer Jumma Namaz there on January 10 and to make this endeavor agreat success, a malicious propaganda is also being conducted in several areas.The main aim is to gather as many Ghazis there as possible makingadministration apprehend a grave communal trouble in the area. Abdul Matin,in-charge Motawali of Hazi Benku Baksh mosque, is playing a leading part inthis context and his associates include Maulana Abdul Mannan (Imam Saheb),Badre Alam, Anowar Hussain, Imran, Ad Tabat Alam and Abul Hasan.
The other mosque is Asgar Mistri Mosque under Hafez Dilawar Hossain WakfState within the jurisdiction of Topsia police station and no stone is beingleft unturned to achieve this too. As per locals, venomous propaganda is beingconducted against Hindus and even Mamata Banerjee, chief minister of Bengal, isalso being slandered. On January 3, 2014, Musallis of Beniapukur Mosque blockedoff local streets as a part of this struggle. It is to be noted, such adesperate effort took place in 2010 also.

Fate of culprits in these cases is now shared bySheikh Moti. He has been arrested on January 3, 2014 from the village of Khaitanin Dubrajpur for raping a five-year old girl in Suri, Birbhum on last Tuesday. Ithas been learnt, he has been sent to jail custody for 14 days.
The dreadfulincident occurred on last Tuesday when Laxmi Majhi (named changed) was playing withher friends in the courtyard of Hemanta Mahara in Saddipara in Ward no. 12 inthe town of Suri within the district of Birbhum. The culprit who lives in Rutiparavisited Hemantas residence on that day. While he was talking to Hemanta, Motisaw Laxmi and allegedly dragged her into Hemantas residence and raped her. Localsaffirm that Hemanta and his wifes silence incited him to go on with the heinouscrime. When Laxmi, at night, informed her father that she was ailing, she wastaken to a gynecologist and thento the Suri hospital. After a thorough medical examination there, it wasconfirmed that she had been raped. Laxmis father filed an official complaintagainst Sheikh Moti to rape Laxmi and also against Hemanta Mahara and RekhaMahara (his wife) for abetting the crime.
Perhaps as part of a custom, police here also, locals allege,remained laid-back in the beginning and only a furious civil movement compelledit to act fast and nab Sheikh Moti finally. But the absconding couple includingHemanta and his wife is yet to be found.

On January 1,2014, between 9 am and 1 pm, almost 70 shops possessed by Hindus at Dhaki Bazarwithin the jurisdiction of police station of Kultali in the district of South24 Paraganas were captured by a large gang of Muslims. It has been learnt,around 1, 000 Muslim people from the adjoining area and also from outsideassembled within the market. They were from all walks of life and fromdifferent political parties also but united with a single purpose and it was tooust Hindu traders from those shops. Even if Hindu leaders of same politicalparties also watched the turmoil, they preferred to remain as mute spectators.According to locals, all Hindu leaders took flight once they learnt that theunruly mob comprising riotous youths was led by Suja, alleged to be a trustedacquaintance of Selim or the dreaded criminal from Mograhat.
A contingent oflocal police station under the supervision of a police officer named ImarulHaque was also there but they remained silent even if forceful eviction oftraders including Panchu Gharami, Kinkar Mandal, Kashinath Paik and SanatMandal went on. None of concerned youths has been taken into custody yet and indispositionof Hindus terrified to file an official complaint even has led to a stalemate. Localsconfirm that partisanship of Kultali police station against Hindus in everycapacity has been continuing for decades.Posted byUnknownat3:28 PM2 comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Thursday, January 2, 2014 Banjanharia Charial Block Primary Health Centre vandalized following Muslim youths death On December 29, 2013, at 11 am, Banjanharia Charial Block Primary Health Centre in thevillage of Banjanharia under the jurisdiction of Budge Budge police station in24 Paraganas (South) district turned into a battlefield between Hindus andMuslims following the death of a Muslim youth.
It has come to knowledge, Hakim Sheikh (name changed),a youth living in the environs, was admitted to the Primary Health Centre (on December29) with acute chest pain as well as high fever. However, he succumbed to deathunfortunately within the next one hour. But family members of Hakim Sheikh,alleging wrong medical treatment, ransacked the hospital and even threatenedSujata Dutta (name changed) of dire consequences. Even if she asked them to gofor post-mortem (if necessary), the irate mob snubbing her went on with therampage. The turmoil irritated local Hindus lots as some of them were alsohandled roughly within the medical institution. The situation became terrible whena Hindu youth got involved with a few fierce protesters.
No less than hundreds of Hindus appeared there soon toteach the violent mob a lesson. But the situation was saved with the timelyintervention of local police. Protesters were made vacate the ground alongside thehospital without delay. While leaving, Hindus and Muslims were seen to warneach other. No protester has been arrested yet.

It hasbeen learnt, a few people (belonging to Muslim community) appeared in the landsharing an ancient temple of Banadevi surprisingly and without consultinganyone, they commenced to build up a new structure later found as an illicitmosque. The news was enough to both unnerve and enrage local Hindus as theyknew that they would have to pay a high price for this ultimately.
Itis worth mentioning, the ancient temple exists within 100 meters of thedisputed and illegal structure; Hindus worship at the temple regularly and theBanadevi fair is also organized there annually. As a result, the effort behind this new mosquewas deemed as evil by local Hindus. They also realized that completion of thesame would endanger Hindu locality and its way of life. And this new crisiswould not be limited to any jolt only. On the word of a villager (on conditionof anonymity), even If Hindus have no problem with any new mosque, past experiencesare enough to ascertain that any such development would call Hindus, their religiousbeliefs and also worships a halt. And administration supports these evildesigners only.
As therewas no other option for a peaceful resolution, local Hindus, led by HinduSamhati, organized a mass resistance to the shady project leading to its terminationfinally.

Thosewho make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable- John F. Kennedy

Nomatter how much omnipotent can a regime be, it cedes to the power representing peopleultimately. This has been the guiding principle for all generations but contemporaryBengal administration is yet to comprehend it and hence, it is busy to houndand despoil Hindu Samhati, known for its glaring role in monitoring andreporting violations against Hindus in the state. Ever since its formation, therehave been relentless state government-sponsored attacks on it and horrificdevelopments in Rajbari, under the jurisdiction of Sandeshkhali in South 24 Paraganasdistrict, of late bring to light what Hindus are going through.
Followingthe visit of a team of Hindu Samhati to the abovementioned area and itsneighborhood on December 17, 2013, local administration, instigated byIslamists, lost no time to both terrorize and penalize Hindus in the area. Evenif Hindu Samhatis team members during the visit were surveiled by Muslimyouths, it was hard to imagine then that more problems were awaiting localHindus. Amoy Bhunia or Gora, a decent Hindu youth in Rajbari, was arrested outof no reasons and a large contingent of police along with RAF was deployed to foilany effort to release him. When a largenumber of local Hindus, defying all oppressions, built up a peaceful protestagainst the detention, police and RAF lathicharged 1000 of them brutally and asper reports, it was done under the instruction of Shahjahan Sheikh, highly influentialleader of Trinamool Congress in the locality infamous and worked as areliable crook of CPIM till a few months back. No less than 11 Hindus including5 women were arrested. One of them was Rumpa Bhunia and owing to police attack,she suffered several injuries. Nevertheless, daring struggles of Hindus made policerelease the detainees ultimately.
Butit was not all as on the next day police, in the dead of night, forayed No. 14Baghmari village and arrested Ramchandra Sardar and Babusona Sardar. But thisalso turned out to be a failure for police only as they were snatched by Hindusin the midway. Hindu women in strength were present in the mob and used jharu or broom to teach police and administrationa strong lesson.


Is thisa new beginning for passive Hindus? Perhaps it is and with the increase ofoppressions on them, resistances will also become harsher it can be saidwithout doubt.
