'Why doesn’t your Ram come to protect you ?' : Muslims taunt Hindus

Religious fanatic Muslims attack India’s victory procession in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, after winning ICC Champions Trophy tournament final

Mhow (MP) – Following India’s victory in the ICC Champions Trophy tournament final on the night of 9th March, celebrations took place across the country. In many places, people carried out bike rallies. A similar rally was carried out in Mhow city of Indore District in Madhya Pradesh. However, as soon as the rally reached near the Jama Masjid, religious fanatic Muslims started pelting stones at it. This led to chaos among the Hindus participating in the procession. Muslims caught and beat Hindus, vandalised motorcycles, and set them on fire. Hindu shops were also torched, and stones were pelted at Hindu homes. Petrol bombs were hurled, and one house was burnt down. The rioting Muslims were shouting slogans of ‘Hindustan Murdabad’ (Death to India). They also taunted Hindus, saying, ‘Why doesn’t your Ram come to protect you ? Call him now’.

1. The incident occurred around 10 pm on 9th March. After India’s victory, over 100 youths took out a procession on motorcycles carrying the Indian flag. They were chanting slogans like ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ (Victory to Mother India) and ‘Jai Shriram’ (Hail Lord Ram). When the procession reached near Jama Masjid, firecrackers were burst, leading to an altercation with members of the Muslim community. A mob of Muslims caught some people from the procession and assaulted them. Subsequently, the violence spread to areas like Patti Bazar, Sabzi Market, and Ghaffar Hotel.

2. To control the situation, the Police resorted to lathi charge. Later, a large number of Police forces from Indore rural and urban areas were deployed in the region, along with military forces. Three people were injured in the incident, and 13 individuals have been arrested. Indore District Magistrate Asheesh Singh announced that action under the National Security Act would be taken against the accused.

3. District Magistrate Asheesh Singh said that the situation is now under control, and security forces have been deployed. He assured that the cause of the incident would be investigated later, but for now, the situation is stable.

Editorial Perspectives

Only if such anti-national Muslims are given the death penalty will other such traitors be deterred ! The Government must now show the courage to take such action; otherwise, Hindus will continue to get assaulted.

If patriotic Hindus still have to endure beatings despite taking out a united procession, it is truly shameful !

Many times in the past, Muslims have committed violence after India’s victory, but due to the lack of strict action against such anti-nationals, they continue to incite riots without fear. This is a disgrace to both the Police and the Government !

Police arrive after 1.5 hours

A Hindu woman affected by the violence said that the rioting continued for nearly 1.5 hours. Stones were being pelted, petrol bombs and burning cloth balls were being thrown at houses, vandalism was rampant, and attempts were being made to break into houses. However, the Police did not arrive at the scene during this entire time.

Editorial Perspectives

How do religious fanatic Muslims dare to attack Hindus even when the BJP Government has been in power in Madhya Pradesh for years ? If Hindus are being assaulted and the Police take 1.5 hours to arrive, what is the use of such a Police force ? The concerned officials should be investigated and punished !
