Hindu procession attacked by Muslims in a Mosque at Jahazpur (Rajasthan)`

  • Stone pelting continued for 20 to 25 minutes

  • BJP MLA promises to bulldoze the mosque

Jaipur – A Hindu procession was attacked by Muslims at Jahazpur in Bhilwara district. Hindus had organised a procession on the occasion of Ekadashi on 14th September. Stones were pelted at the procession from the Jama Masjid when the procession passed by it. This stone pelting continued for 20 to 25 minutes injuring many Hindus. Police have arrested 10 persons in this regard and are carrying out a thorough enquiry. The incident has led to an additional police deployment in the city.

Terrified by the stone pelting Hindus ran helter-skelter resulting in a stampede. Markets were shut in the aftermath of the incident.

Hindus came together in a short while and carried out protests. On being informed about the incident, BJP MLA Gopichand Meena joined the protest. He promised Hindus that the mosque would be bulldozed.

Gopichand Meena requested to stop the protest after 10 arrests were made in the case.

Municipality issues notice to the mosque

Jahazpur Municipality has issued a notice to the owner of the mosque. He has been ordered to submit the land ownership and mosque erection documents at the municipality office within 24 hours.

Illegal construction by Muslims razed in the city

After the stone pelting incident, municipal officials razed down an illegal structure built by Muslims, next to the bus stand.  The District Collector, Rajendra Singh Shekhawat, validated that the action had indeed been taken.

Editorial viewpoints

  • Whichever political party comes to power, Muslim attacks of terror from mosques or dargahs on Hindu processions continue on a regular basis. It is infuriating that India doesn’t have a government that can stop this.
  • Those Muslims who pelt stones at Hindu processions today will not hesitate to enter Hindu households and attack Hindus in the future. It is imperative to declare India as a Hindu Rashtra to prevent such a situation.
  • The security agencies have proof of many Indian mosques having become a base for anti-Hindu and Jihadi activities. Despite this, why are these not shut ?
