Hindus apprehend Islamists planning to wreak havoc
Commotions and combats are not anything new in the
area of Chingripota – Noongi, P.S. Maheshtala, District: 24 Paragnas (South) in
the Indian state of Bengal. The entire area, being a stronghold of Islamists,
has been a source of disturbance for the administration and people, in
particular Hindus. However, there is a similarity; like other areas Islamists
here also remain recklessly determined to steer clear of Hindus and hence, no
opportunity is wasted ever to expel Hindus from the locality. Such an approach
was perceived of late regarding a vehement dispute over 1 bigha vested
land.
It is to be noted, both Hindus and Muslims of the
locality were using the same tract for their own purposes. However, as per
sources, Islamists have prepared legal (sham) papers to get hold of the vast
land.
On April 15, 2012, Islamists, all of a sudden, were
seen to erect a boundary wall around the very land. Hindus did go to the police
station to complain against this treacherous act (as no party to the land was
taken into consideration). Police, instead of adopting prompt measures to call
the illegal act a halt, was found to waste time. At long last, being compelled
by Hindus to intervene, police did turn up and put an end to the work. The wall
was destructed and police asked both parties to opt for mutual settlements. And
under the patronage of local administration, both Hindu and Muslim sections of
the land were fenced.
But the situation, even after this, changed
drastically soon. On April 26, 2012, Islamists were found to appear there once
more but this time along with their own surveyors. They did demarcate the land
once more without considering to talk to others. The incident was enough to
enrage local Hindus but (being law-abiding citizens) before making any reckless
attempt, they complained to police station. Police personnel, comprehending the
gravity of the situation, rushed to the spot at this time.
Enragement among Hindus owing to continual audacity of
Islamists has led to the rise of fear in the vicinity. Sri Dulal Das, chairman,
Maheshtala Municipality, and also husband of Mrs. Kasturi Das, MLA of
Maheshtala constituency, has visited the area for a number of times by
now. It has been learnt, owing to his
insistence (to avoid any untoward incident) RAF has been deployed in the very
area.
The entire area is under the protection of RAF at the
moment, even if people apprehend that animosity will raise its ugly head once
the force is withdrawn.
