India:Muslims want curbs on Hindu procession

[GreenFoe]

SP denies accusations of 'witch hunting' of Muslims and
'kangaroo court'. The president of the Jamaat of V.Kalathur demanded that the
Muslims be given protection from the 'deliberate' actions of the police.

The State Minorities Commission was witness to a poignant scene involving the
Muslims and the Hindus of V.Kalathur, a village in Perambalur district, on
Tuesday. When the commission headed by Bishop M. Prakash had a sitting at the
Perambalur collectorate, the president of the Jamaat of V.Kalathur demanded that
the Muslims be given protection from the “deliberate” actions of the police. He
pointed out that four streets in the village had a predominantly Muslim
population and hence all that they wanted was that the Hindu processions avoid
these streets.

“Almost once in 15 days some festival or other is organised by the Hindus and
procession is taken through our streets. We are afraid that something untoward
against us could take place then.” When there was a complaint, 103 Muslims,
including those studying and those about to leave abroad for jobs, were
arrested, while it was only three persons on the Hindus’ side who were taken
into custody.

Ramaswamy, speaking on behalf of the Hindus at V.Kalathur, lamented that “Hindus have become minorities at V.Kalathur and our fundamental rights are
trampled upon when we are not allowed to take our processions through the routes
through which we have been traditionally taking our processions. But for the
protection offered by the district administration, we will find it difficult to
live in the village and I am in half a mind to get myself converted.”

Superintendent of Police T.K.Rajasekaran said there had been no problem at
all between the two communities living in for ages. It all started only when a
section of the Muslim community objected to the Hindus taking out processions
through “their streets”. They even moved the High Court. “All that the police
did was to ensure smooth movement of the procession without any untoward
incidents and we have conducted a number of peace meetings as well.” The police
started working out the number of processions taken out per annum and how the
religious processions could be avoided through these streets. “But even as the
discussions were going on, a marriage procession of Hindus was stopped by the
Muslims. Then the police were left with no other option but to arrest 70 Muslims
as it apprehended serious unrest.”

When hardly half a dozen policemen are required for bandobust, why police
should seek the presence of an IG, a DIG and two SPs, but for the situation
turning grave, he asked. The SP also said that though invitations were sent to
Muslims nine times for talks, none responded.

He dismissed the allegation that the police were indulging in “witch hunting”
of Muslims and running a “kangaroo court” (katta panchayat).
The Muslims said that they were prepared to live in harmony with other
communities, but there was an attempt to drive a wedge

And I was told that the name of country was Hindustan....

WTF? Just cause its a Muslim street, the procession should no go through?

What about the Azaans blaring on the loudspeaker 5 times a day, why should Hindus have to put up with that? Sometimes I think these people don't deserve a secular democratic country.

In Hyderabad Lakshmi Temple bells can't ring (played) during Azan...

In secular India there lies another India, which is communal. Vote bank greedy politicians want that India to grow..

i hope if people remember that once uma ****** while adressing a rally in hubli-karnataka had hoisted a national flag in eid-ka-maidan , and then for the next one week entire city was shut down because of riots . Though uma comes from the saffron party i still could not understand what was wrong in it , is hoisting the tri-colour in their religious place a crime ...and they say india dosen't treats its minorities equally, tell me which country would allow this bs .

we have always tried to be tolerant , but india is the only country were the minority are in-tolerant .

Muslims, they tend to stay together with their own people...they r really hesitant to mingle with other religion. I have seen this in north india, though in the south, its not that much.

So basically Muslims fear that Hindu procession from their streets can cause any unruly Hindu/s to ignite tension against Muslims.

Yup, Hindu marriage processions are famous for requiring the sacrifice of at least one muslim so that the marriage may be started on an auspicious note. I am surprised you didn't know that.

Have you seen these processions? Ghastly. With iron rods pierced through the cheeks and "holy" pots hanging on them! Some have totally naked and very dirty fakirs. Then there are iron hooks pierced into various parts of the body and something hanging from these hooks. Really sickening to look at live.

Don't like what you see move on no one is forcing to stare and make comments.

 

[Bhai Zakir]

Shame on these thugs they are not eligible for calling them self Muslims.

These types of people responsible for the bad name to the Muslims

Islam is the religion of peace.

Brushing every Muslim with same brush and calling your self open minded is considered hypocrisy Ajaxpaul

You're so way off base, one should always be vigilant for activities of the evil kuffars, if they compose a procession marching down your streets then you must keep a wary eye on them..as evidenced by the following gem:- "So basically Muslims fear that Hindu procession from their streets can cause any unruly Hindu/s to ignite tension against Muslims." What if you weren't vigilant just because you didn't like what you were seeing and taking advantage of that an evil Hindu decided to cause mischief against the pious believers? Unforgivable act of omission that would be, no?
