Paikpara
Ghatbaur, P.S. Bangaon, near to Bangaon town, on May 23, 2013, remained witness
to a scuffle between Muslim ruffians and local Hindu Samhati activists – while the
Islamists were hell-bent to restart construction of a mosque in a disputed
property, located at a short distance away from an old Kali Temple of Hindus,
situated behind the bus stand at Paikpara market, Hindu youths were desperate
enough to stop the same.
It
has been learnt, the trouble commenced at 11 am when a few Islamists, both
young and old, were seen to supervise a construction in the disputed site. They
were not ignorant of a crucial fact –the very land belongs to government and in
2006, Islamists had attempted to make a mosque there; Hindus, in protest, lodged
a suit against the local administration then in the High Court on August, 2006
and the Hon’ble High Court of Kolkata ordered an injunction on the same land.
The
status of land remains same but the Islamists, using the impending Panchayat
election and its clout, hatched the same design once more. When Hindus asked them
of the same, Islamists informed them of a minimal construction – enough to make
Hindus smell a rat. Hindus asked them to stop the work but it went on. So, they
decided to take help of local administration.
Even
if merely 30 Hindu Samhati activists were present there, they got successful in
preventing more than 100s of Islamists.
When
Hindu youths phoned the local police station and narrated the entire incident
and also the possibility of a violent clash between two religious groups in
absence of any legal measure, police rushed to the spot and asked Islamists,
present there, of legal documents allowing them to do the same job.
As
usual, they failed to show the authorization and the job was stopped by police
straight away.
Had not Hindu Samhati
youths defied Islamists and dared to call police, the pious task of Muslim radicals
to build a mosque (at least its base) to bully local Hindus for all time would
have finished by the same evening.
