Sandeshkhali --- Spineless Administration Again Succumbs to Islamic Pressure

Islamic force is all set to make West Bengal as Muslim dominated state courtesy to our spineless administration and political leaders. Their policy is very simple and clear. First, grab a land in a Hindu dominated area by money or muscle power. Then increase the number Muslims in the area and finally drive away all the Hindus from that area. They know, toothless administration and their political boss will not take any action against them in the fear of loosing vote-bank. Be it Kashmir, Assam or West Bengal – their policy is paying them dividend.

The Hindus of Deganga witnessed it in the year 2009, Hindus of Taranagar on 14th May this year, and, now, the Hindus of Rajbari Bazar under Sandeshkhali police station, North 24 Parganas witnessed the live demonstration of this on 20/07/2012 Friday. In the area, there is a Mazar in the govt. PWD land where Muslims offer namaj. Just behind that Mazar, there is low land of 15 feet breadth belongs to PWD. Almost a fortnight ago, after completing the namaj, Muslims started to fill that land with sand in order to occupy area with a clandestine intention of constructing an illegal mosque claiming that land to be their own. Local Hindus strongly objected to it and that resulted in a clash. When informed, police from local police outpost reached there. They were attacked by the assembled Muslims. After offering the Friday namaj, Muslims again started to occupy the land. All local Hindus cutting across gender line confronted with Muslims and big bloodbath was on the cards. At that time a huge police force and RAF including OC, CI, from Sandeshkhali, Hasnabad and Minakha police stations and SDPO (Basirhat) reached the place and brought situation under control. SDO (Basirhat) and BDO (Sandeshkhali) also reached the spot.

In the evening 5 pm, a meeting was called by the BDO at the Agatati PAnchayat office with representatives of both sides and political parties. BLRO, CI and OC of Sandeshkhali police station were also present in that meeting. It was decided in the meeting that half of the disputed PWD land, i.e., about 7.5 feet of the whole stretch will be given to the Muslims to fill up the low land and construct the cemented floor for offering namaj. That means the namaj reading area will be expanded. It was further decided that Muslims will not be allowed to construct any wall or roof or room anyway. It was also decided in the meeting that the BDO will serve a signed copy of this decision to both parties, i.e. Hindu and Muslim. After that only, the floor construction will be allowed. Hindus had to accept this decision because both the ruling TMC representative and local CPM Panchayat Pradhan Moslem Seikh pressurized the Hindus to accept it.

Even after this decision, Hindus apprehend that some mischief will be done by the administration under pressure from the political parties and the construction will be done without the written assurance. Hindus have lost every hope of justice from the administration.
