- Despite being in minority, if religious fanatics can persecute Hindus, what will happen if they become the majority ?
26th May 2021 – Hindus of Noorpur village in Aligarh District in Uttar Pradesh, are considering selling their houses and fleeing the town amidst threats of persecution at the hands of hooligans from the Muslim majority. |
After Noorpur, it is now the Hindu families of Shiv Mandir Colony, Moradabad who have put up their houses for sale. As many as 81 families are planning a mass exodus, reportedly after being harassed continuously by their Muslim neighbors who have recently shifted to the colony.
Why are the families planning a mass exodus ?
As per reports, 81 Hindu families have hung posters outside their homes which read, “Mass Exodus, Shiv Mandir Colony, Lajpat Nagar, Moradabad, for sale, contact colony residents”.
Narrating their fear, the locals said that houses at both the gates of the colony were sold to Muslims at an exorbitant rate. Some recent incidents have made them fear that they will no longer be safe there.
A local revealed that these Muslim families had discarded the carcasses of animals on the recently concluded Bakri Eid in the lanes of the colony causing great inconvenience. The locals allege that dogs in the colony dragged these leftovers to a Shiva temple in the colony. Reports suggest that most families in the colony are vegetarians.
In an interview with Republic TV, a local said, “It has become difficult for children to remain at home, they cannot go to the terrace, cannot play in the streets, problems are becoming bigger”.
