Hindus in Dinajpur Protest Assault on Ganga Puja Festivities by Islamists

Hindus Prove Strength Can Subdue All Adversaries
Ganga Puja Bisarjan Jatra Attacked in Dinajpur; Hindus Pressure Administration to Intervene; Mosque Microphone Removed.

The problem started with the immersion of the holy murthi (Hindu religious icon) of Ganga Puja on October 2nd, 2010. As usual the Hindu crowd went ahead with dhak (percussion instrument similar to other two-sided drums in India) and ceremonial elegance and splendor. While returning through another way following the immersion (with the same pomp) the devotees were prevented by Muslims alleging the grandeur was 'injuring' the sanctity of the local mosque. The entire Hindu group consisting of mostly women was manhandled, abused for trying to 'insult' Islam, and was also even threatened with dire consequences............Continued

Communique : A Vijaya Dashami with NO Durga Puja

Kolkata, India
November/5/2010


Hindu Samhati Appeals to the General Hindu Public to QUESTION the West Bengal Media, Administration, Police, and Political Parties one single question :

Why was there Vijaya Dashami Celebrated in Deganga Block WITHOUT a Durga Puja ?

"A Vijaya Dashami with NO Durga Puja"
=================================
This is not the name of a movie. Durga Puja Committees across Deganga area in N 24 Paragana have gone empty. No Murthis (Hindu Religious Icons) were worshipped as has been done in this area for ages.The biggest Bengali mega-festival for which the Hindu awaits in excitement and hope for the full annum have been boycotted and relinquished by the Goddess' followers. Deganga Hindus had decided NOT to bring Mother Durga and her 4 children home, ie NOT to celebrate Durga Puja, ie, Sacrifice Durga Puja in 2010.

Has there been a calamity, an earthquake, a typhoon, or flood ? NO ! Over 500 Hindu homes and 500 Hindu owned businesses have been attacked, multiple Hindu temples have been desecrated and defiled, all with synchronized orchestration by a planned well organized mob under the leadership of MP Haji Nurul Islam. All within a three day span in September, 2010.

Hindus in Deganga have treated this as more serious than a calamity, an earthquake, a typhoon, or a flood. The biggest festival of Deganga's Hindus have been renounced by all the Puja committees of the Deganga Puja Samanvay Committee. They hoped that this will catch the attention of the anti-Hindu media, anti-Hindu administration, anti-Hindu Police, and the anti-Hindu politicians of West Bengal.

This Puja season, while thousands of Hindus in Deganga spent their days in fear, distress, and uncertainty for their and their children's future, the corrupt local media and the vote hungry politicians have done everything in their power to hide the reality from the masses in Kolkata, the capital city, living 20 miles away and elsewhere.

Hindu Samhati has endorsed to the fullest the decision by the Puja Samanvay Committee to renounce this Puja in protest of the anti Hindu stance of the West Bengal media, administration, police and politicians. We want to see that the situation is changed, so that we would be able to do the Pujas in full pristine form in 2011, or else, we have to expand our struggle beyond Deganga and N 24 Parganas.

*In October-November 1946 the whole of India, especially North and Central India observed a Black Diwali in protest against the horrific riots and Hindu genocide in Noakhali, in erstwhile East Bengal. Maybe this Dark Dussera of Deganga will alert us to an impending calamity of similar proportions that hit the Hindus of India in 1946-47.

Murshidabad Now Muslimabad - Impending Danger

Murshidabad already has the highest concentration of Muslims among the three Muslim majority districts of the State. Now, the District Magistrate Pervez Ahmed Siddiqui wants the district to be officially named as Muslimabad.

According to a report published in the Dainik Statesman on 29th July, the DM in a letter to the concerned officials regarding the extension of the deadline for the correction of the electoral list, has referred to the district as Muslimabad except for the subject line. Surprisingly, all the concerned officials have countersigned the letter without any objection.

Though the DM has been quick to dismiss it as an editing faux pas, is it that really a sign of frivolousness? If that be so then why the correct name has been used in the subject line? The answer lies elsewhere. It is a part of the sinister ploy to carve out another Pakistan. In 1947, when a Pakistan, comprising of the Muslim majority areas was proposed, the (Hindu) leadership had dismissed it as a 'fantastic nonsense'. Now, another alarm has sounded on the eve of the Independence Day.

Some time back, a religious institution had created a tension by supplying globes to educational institutions that showed Murshidabad as a sovereign Muslim State. The administration was inactive, as usual.

Panchthupi Riots, Hindus attacked in Murshidabad again

From 14th April Communal Riot started in Panchthupi village and surrounding area of the village under Burwan Police Station of Kandi sub division of Murshidabad district.

This Panchthupi village is a very big village consisting of 18 paras (localities).
The clash started when some Muslim boys spat on the Hindu devotees of Shiva on the day of Charak Puja. These devotees were drinking water from a tube well. The devotees protested resulting in clashes between two groups. Some people from both sides were injured.

The administration intervened. With the initiative of the Officer in Charge of Barwan P.S. and District Magistrate a Peace Committee was formed taking representatives from both communities.

But, on 16th April, suddenly about 300 – 400 Muslims attacked the Hindus. Many Hindu houses and shops were looted and destroyed. Hindu houses were bomb charged indiscriminately. Naru Gopal Mukherjee’s house in Achoa Para and one ex elected Pradhan of Dakshin Para were damaged in the bombing by the Muslims. Many Hindus were injured. Seriously injured persons were admitted to local Hospital. Some injured persons had to transferred to Baharampur District Hospital. About 14 Hindus were injured.

In this attack, Muslims from another village, named Godapara on the other side of the river Mayurakshi (now dry) joined the attackers.

In this large scale bombing, one Hindu youth of 22 years age Sujit Ghosh has been killed at about 11 am on 16.04.10. The bomb was thrown directly on the back of him.

On the same day morning (16.04.10), the Dak Bunglow Market, about 6 km distant from Panchthupi village, was attacked by the Muslim miscreants. A number of shops owned by the Hindus were destroyed and looted. Particularly the shops owned by the Hindus of Panchthupi were targeted. One sweetmeat shop and one stationary shop ‘Sraddhanjali’ were destroyed and looted here.

Hindus are agitated. But police encircled the Hindu villages where mainly Yadav and Sadgope caste people reside. They are fighting castes. But, in general, Hindus are extremely frightened in the whole area. Police and Rapid Action Force are patrolling the villages. Hindus are apprehensive what will happen when he police force will leave the place.

In this, the District Magistrate (D.C.) Mr. Parvez Siddiqi is playing a dirty role to misuse administration in favour of Muslim hooligans.

This Parvez Siddiqi is a most communal govt officer. Since he joined as D.M. in this 67%(projected) Muslim majority district, his behaviour is extremely partisan and communal. He has made it a point to offer Namaz every Friday noon in different Mosques of the Baharampur town and Murshidabad dist. He particularly chooses those mosques which are not visited by many Muslims. His intention is to popularise that mosque and to give encouragement and inspiration to the Mullahs and Imams of those unpopular mosques. His effort became successful. Hindus are very much apprehensive that so long this man will remain at the helm of administration here, how much damage will be done to the Hindus by him.

Out of total 26 Blocks of this predominantly Muslim majority (63.67% in 2001 census), only this Burwan block is Hindu majority block with 59.66% Hindu in 2001. Rest 25 Blocks are Muslim majority in 2001.

Hindus are extremely scared as they know that they live in a de-facto Pakistan. In fact, in 1947, since 15 August, Pakistani Flag hoisted for three days in this district. Every Hindu of this district knows their fate and future. But a total hopelessness and killer passivity are the identity marks of the Hindus here.

Islamic youth attack Hindus at a Barrackpore Sports Center





Incident report 16th April, 2010.

At the Barrackpur Sports Complex ground in Barrackpur town in Warless Gate Royal Park area, players (both male and female) were practicing, some Muslim boys (aged between 16 and 22), sitting beside the playing fields, started whistling and taunting on the female players of the club. This eve-teasing is a regular phenomenon there. Then the Muslim boys called a female player named Dona and pressed her to give her and her friends (all girls) mobile numbers. Dona was scared. Somehow she fled away from that corner of the ground, they started shouting ‘WE WILL GO TO YOUR HOUSES. WE’LL SIT ON YOUR BEDS, and WE WILL DO-------‘

Hearing this, other fellow Hindu players, who were warming up there, protested against this. They too were slapped and thrashed by the hooligans. For protection all the players took shelter inside the Club building.
Then at around 6.15 pm, about 50-60 boys (age 16 – 22) came and entered the club building, specially in the bathrooms and the girls' dress changing room. The intruder boys started beating everyone of them black and blue.

5 – 6 girl players were severely injured. Among them 2 Hindu girls, named Puja Singha (17) and Dolly Biswas (14) were mercilessly beaten up.

Puja Singha, who was admitted to a local hospital Sarada Nursing Home for 2 days told the HS visiting team members, “I was mainly beaten up on my breast region, they stood on my breast and kicked me up.” When the correspondent asked her, who were those boys and whether she knows anyone of them? She replied that all of them were Muslim boys from Mohanpur (Chopkathalia) Masjid Para. Puja Singha also said that earlier too these boys used to taunt and whistle upon them, and they (the girls) complained to the club members and secretary about this.

On 18.04.10 HS visiting team members met the club authority and asked them about this incident.

Club Secretary Ajay Barman Roy, a local CPI(M) leader, asked our representatives not to write anything that will prevent Muslim boys from playing on this ground. When he was asked why he did not prevent the Muslim boys when they were teasing and insulting the girl players for so long, he replied that he can’t say anything more and he suggested to ask Bishnupada Chaki, a senior member of the sports forum, about the detail.

When contacted, Bishnupada Chaki’s face was pale due to fear. He said that suddenly 50-60 people came and started looting and demolishing the Sports Complex properties. The club authority requested them not to do so, but they didn’t pay hid to them. Chaki said, the hooligan boys have beaten up the female players severely, specially on the breast region. Then Bishnupada Chaki said that some senior members from Masjid Para namely Salam(36), Kalam(38) and Moba removed them after the incident.
Salam, who is also a local CPIM leader, asked the club members not to report the incident to the police. He also started removing the signs of destruction in the Sports Complex building. The local people agitated over it and then only he stopped doing so.

The Sports Complex / Club authority made a general complaint to Titagarh Police Station, without naming any culprit out of fear. The G.D. no. is 1211 dt. 16.04.10. They lodged a written complain to the Addl. Superintendent of Police of North 24 Parganas district on 18.04.10. They informed the matter to the local Panchayat Pradhan Premchand Biswas (CPIM) and Barrackpur Municipality Chairman Bijoli Kanti Mitra (CPIM).

At the time of the incident, one Muslim boy named Imran protested the misbehaviour of the other Muslim boys. He was also beaten up by fellow Muslims.

It was extremely difficult for our representatives to collect the detail information as the local people and club members are scared by both the Muslim hooligans and CPI(M) cadres. That Mohanpur Panchyat and the Sports Complex is totally controlled by CPIM. CPIM is ruling the area since long. They can threaten, suppress and silence the Hindus. But they are absolutely impotent in case of protecting the honour of Hindu women from the rapacity of Muslim goons. And they made the administration absolutely impotent like them.

Hindu Samhati Warns Sandeshkhali (West Bengal) Police

Sandeshkhali (West Bengal) Police Warned For Dubious Inaction To Rescue Nayana Sardar a 13 year old Hindu girl

Today (07-May-2009) over 300 activists of Hindu Samhati staged a strong demonstration at Sandeshkhali Police Station to protest the shameful inaction on the part of the police in the case of two time abduction of Nayana Sardar, a 13 year 10 months old Hindu girl by Islamic activists.

The route to Sandeshkhali Police Station was not an easy way, the activists travelled from Basanti, Minakha, Saraberia and Kolkata to Dhamakhali the last point of land on the horizon, after which all the activists ferried across to the other side of the river Bidhyadhari for their destination Sandeshkhali Police Station.

Just outside the Police station the activists gathered and shouted slogans demanding to know the course of action taken by the police in the two time abduction case of the unfortunate minor girl. Their agitation was led by Mr. Tapan Ghosh, Convenor of Hindu Samhati. In his speech Mr. Ghosh stressed on the corruption and the nexus between the Police personnel and the criminals of the jurisdiction area of Sandeshkhali Police Station. Mr. Ghosh also named the implicated personnel viz, the then Officer-in-Charge during the occurrence of the crime of Sandeshkhali PS Mr. Gautam Mitra, Sub Inspector Mohammed Ananda Seikh and Sub Inspector Manik Mukherjee. He also stated that accused Rafiqul Seikh and Saibaddi Mollah, (both religious Muslims) are walking free due to this unholy nexus. Along with the agitators, present were Mrs. Hema Sardar, mother of Nayana Sardar, Mr. Rabindranath Sardar, father of Nayana Sardar, and other family members including Nayana’s married elder sister.

After protesting in front of the Police Station, a team of 9 activists led by Mr. Tapan Ghosh, including Nayana’s mother and some of her neighbors entered the Police Station to meet the current Officer-in-Charge Mr. Samrat Phani and the Circle Inspector Mr. Raj Kumar Ghosh. The delegation included Ramkrishna Das, Pradip Mandal, Advocate Subhasis Basu Mallick, Shyamanjan Sur, Pradip Das and Smt. Kajal Halder.

Mr. Tapan Ghosh handed over the Memorandum to both the police personnel mentioned above. After handing over the Memorandum a warning was issued to the police over their inaction and their undue conduct with the parents of Nayana Sardar. A deadline was issued to the police that if by 20th of May, 2009, the police fails to take proper action then Hindu Samhati will take the agitation to a higher level, whereby it will cause severe embarassment and loss of credibility for the administration.
