Panchayat of four villages to ban the entry of Muslim and Christian traders

Ashoknagar (Madhya Pradesh) – To prevent incidents of ‘Love Jihad’ and religious conversions that are plaguing the State, the Panchayat of 4 villages in Ashoknagar District decided to ban the entry of Muslim and Christian traders.

Referring to the incident of violence in Nuh-Mewat in Haryana, the Sarpanch of this Panchayat said that people who sell junk, quilts, blankets, cots keep coming to the village from other States. “These people steal, rob and take away our women”, he said.

All the villagers unanimously agreed to the proposal. Now, this decision will apply to 4 villages under this Panchayat. Banners and posters to this effect were put up in these villages on 7^th August.

“Muslim and Christian traders are banned from entering the Dhaturia Gram Panchayat area. Traders are requested to show their Aadhaar Cards as identity proof before entering”, the banners and posters specify. When Police received information about this, they removed the banners and posters.

Editorial Viewpoints

• Will it be wrong to say that the villagers have had to take this extreme decision since the Government has failed to protect the Hindus from such attacks ?
• At least now, will the Government take stern action and make a law against the perpetrators of ‘Love Jihad’ and conversions to protect the Hindus of India ?
