Azamgarh (UP) – At the Chirikihit Village here, the Police has foiled the plot of conversion of the Hindus into Islam and arrested 13 religious fanatic Muslims and 5 Hindus, including 2 women. Sajjad, the main mastermind of this plot, has been arrested also.

They were trying overnight, the conversion of Hindus to Islam by using the photograph of Muslim clerics and erecting the Trishul in the house of Awadhesh Pasi. This conversion was disguised as a cultural programme by arranging a Qawwali there. A mazar like structure was constructed inside this house. Here, they were claiming the cure for the disease. Awadhesh Pasi had been going to Deva Sharif Dargah in Barabanki since last 5 years. There, Sajjad was practising exorcism. He brainwashed Awadhesh. Hindus who used to come to Awadhesh’s house, were asked to become Muslims.

By glorifying the negative aspects of Hindu Dharma and the positive aspects of Islam, the people assembled at Awadhesh Pasi’s home were duped into joining Islam. Also, the religion of Islam was discussed by Qawwal Farid Ahmed, who had arrived from Balrampur for the event. In this, the beliefs of the Hindu religion were described as hypocritical and false. People were instigated against following Hindu Dharma.

They had been instigated against Hindu religion. A person informed the Police about this situation, then the Police went there, conducted the investigation and later took the action.

Editorial Viewpoint

Repeated occurrence of such incidents underlines the need of the education on Dharma to Hindus. Hindu organisations must take this seriously and they should proactively provide Hindus education on Dharma.
