Vijay Sharma, co-convenor of Devbhoomi Sangharsh Samiti, said that the work of settling Muslims in Shimla has been going on for a long time. Muslims here do not allow Hindus to work here. A year ago, there was talk of bringing a policy regarding hawkers; but so far no step has been taken in this regard. He demanded that action be taken in this entire matter as soon as possible, otherwise a big agitation will be launched.

After this incident, the Police have issued a notice to three people saying, ‘If you have any evidence against the person accused of spitting and selling gram and namkeen, please give it to us. If you do not do this, action will be taken against all three of them.’ (The job of finding evidence is for the Police, not the public ! – Editor) The names of these three are Kalpana Sharma, Shweta and Vijay Sharma. All three are associated with the Devbhoomi Sangharsh Samiti.

Editorial Perspectives

It is said that due to these incidents, the public has stopped buying food items from such people; however, after hundreds of such incidents have come to light in the country, there is a need to find a policy and solution at the national level in this regard.
