At least a dozen people were injured in a communal clash that lasted for nearly two hours in Meerut on Saturday. Three of the injured are reported to have suffered bullet injuries, and one is said to be critical.

According to reports, the violence started after a scuffle between Hindus and Muslims over putting up a fence around a well outside a mosque in Teergaraan area here. The clashes then spread to the nearby areas of Bazaza Bazar, Lala Bazar and Budhana gate. Both the groups are alleged to have fired at each other.

BJP corporator Vijay Anand, who was among the first to reach Teergaraan, was allegedly manhandled and his motorcycle was set on fire.

“I reached the place carrying a copy of the local court verdict which banned any construction around the well. The court held that it is a public property as a Jain temple is also located in the area. Nobody paid heed to me. They pushed me aside and set my bike ablaze while the police took no action,” alleged Anand.

Local BJP leaders uploaded photographs of the youth who is reported to be critically injured on Facebook and WhatsApp.

Party supporters, led by Meerut Mayor Ravikant Ahluwallia, staged protests in the affected area.

“The police did not react in time, as a result of which the clash escalated. The local police are operating at the behest of the ruling party as they remained soft towards members of the minority community who started the trouble,” alleged Ahluwallia.

MEERUT: About 50 people, including a top police officer and two mediapersons, were injured in a communal clash in Meerut on Saturday, police said. The incident occurred around 2 pm when a group of people was installing a water facilitation centre near a mosque.

Members of the Jain community opposed the installation, saying it was near their temple too and the queue of people would disturb the peace of the premises.

But people from the other community did not agree and installed the water centre there, following which a scuffle took place between the two rival groups. The scuffle blew out of proportion and people started shouting slogans against the other community. Some vehicles and kiosks were set afire.

So if someone farts in UP due to constipation, you would blame Modi for it? You need to see a shrink, pronto.

@Leader I am not making excuses.

This shameless aggression just because a country allows them freedom of religion will take these pathetic fanatics to their doom.

Why do they have to pollute other people's holy places? Why can't they stay the hell away from our holy places! Why do they have to have mosques and shout their cacophony over loudspeakers near our holiest temples!

If they can't reform themselves, someone else will.
