Religious fanatics cause havoc in Nandurbar, Dondaicha (Dhule), and Jalna : Maharashtra

  • Stone pelting on houses and vehicles of Hindus

  • Statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji desecrated

  • Police use tear gas to control the situation

Nandurbar – On the occasion of Eid-e-Milad on September 19, religious fanatics attacked Hindus during processions in Nandurbar, Dondaicha (Dhule district), and Jalna. They threw stones at Hindu homes and damaged their vehicles. The police had to fire 15 tear gas shells to disperse the crowd. During the clashes, religious fanatics held placards in support of Aurangzeb. In Nandurbar, 10 civilians, including 4 policemen, were injured. The coordinated riots in all three cities make it evident that these attacks were part of a premeditated plan.

Editorial Perspectives

  • Recently, religious fanatics have targeted Hindus by attacking immersion processions of Shri Ganesh idols in several locations. Once again, on the occasion of the Eid-e-Milad procession, these groups attacked Hindus. It’s clear that they only need an excuse to engage in such attacks. Why do the police and administration turn a blind eye to these activities ?
  • Even when Hindu property is damaged in premeditated conspiracies, the police and administration either fail to act strongly against the perpetrators or completely ignore their serious offenses. How will the public feel protected under such circumstances ?
