Muslim mob attack

On Monday (8th September), Hindu organisations staged a protest against the stone pelting incident. The police, however, resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the protesting Hindus, including women, and even arrested some of them.

A mob smashed the Ashoka Emblem carved on the marble plaque marking the foundation stone of a new structure within Hazratbal Dargah in Srinagar, calling it anti-Islam.

After 1947, the local Hindus have been the “primary victims” of all the listed communal riots started by Muslims.

The clash began in Mudaka village near Firozpur Jhirka. Village Sarpanch Ramsingh Saini said a boy named Isra (some reports say son of Isra) parked his vehicle on a road leading to the village. A local Hindu youth, Samay Singh Saini, asked him to move it but the Muslim youth refused, leading to an argument between the two. 

The incident took place in Meenapur village of Rajpur under the Sahebganj police station area. A Muslim mob is reported to have pelted stones from the roofs of houses near Meenapur Mosque.

A violent clash broke out during an eviction drive in Assam’s Paikan Reserve Forest after a Muslim mob attacked the police, leading to police firing that left one dead and several injured.

A Dalit Hindu e-rickshaw driver Ankit got brutally beaten by the Muslim mob for playing bhajan during Savan in Moradabad, Utter Pradesh.
