Administrative nonchalance aid Islamists to
prevail
A stupendous rise in the number of Islamists in
Mograhat block, District: 24 Paraganas (South) – in 1981 Hindus in Mograhat formed
87% of the entire populace but came down to mere 47% in 2001 – is no longer a
talk of the town. What is being witnessed at the moment is a further decrease
in their numbers and the void being filled by a momentous rise in Islamic
communalism.
A spate of recent incidents in Mograhat makes it
easy for all to ascertain the ominous reality there.
1)
North-east part of the canal, flowing alongside
the Mograhat market, has been occupied by Islamists illegally and a grandiose
mosque has been built there. What is more, microphones attached to the minarets
of mosque are playing daylong harassing Hindus on the whole. The entire
development happens to be a grievous design of Islamists to extend influence
and nonchalance of administration gives a fillip to it only. There is another point as well. Government of
Bengal has annunciated recently “Jal Dharo, Jal Varo” – a policy to reserve
water for its best use in future. How can a great part of canal be filled then?
2)
On the eastern side of Mograhat railway station, adjoining
the railway track precisely, a majestic two-storied mosque (termed as
namaz-ghar by Islamists) has been built creating a great difficulty for commuters.
The pathway used by them, consequently, has come down to half. It has been
learnt, top railway officials have visited the spot but any measure against the
illegitimate building is yet to be adopted.
3)
A magnificent mosque has been built at the
crossing of Goruhata (between the road from Mograhat to Bangla More). Albeit
the land belongs to Muslims, the amazing speed in which the entire construction
has been completed has made locals skeptical of the entire project and the fund
behind it.
4)
This story belongs to Gokarni Panchayat in
Mograhat – when it was dominated by CPIM a few years back. A few Muslim families (termed as refugees) were placed
there by the then party in power. And by now the same number has increased to a
few hundreds, although what made them refugees is yet to be known. It has come
to the knowledge, Muslim families there are planning to build up a mosque there
by filling up a nayanjuli. And this is certainly illegal in every sense of the
term.
Harishankarpur happens to
be an obscure village under P.S. Mograhat and was known to revel the native
fair of Ghorachut for decades. However, Islamists have brought the fair to an
end. The two previous fairs were highly disturbed by Islamists from adjacent
villages and indifference of local administration gave them an easy edge.
Police has denied outright to help Hindus in any way.
