Islamic forces trying to construct Mosque in HINDU area in Kolkata

Islamic forces trying to construct

Mosque in a HINDU area in Kolkata

Ward no. 59 of Kolkata is a Hindu area and at 13C, Asgar Mistri Lane, Kolkata – 46, there is a vacant land of about 3 kottah (2200 sq ft approx). According to the locals this land is being vacant since the year 1946 and the land is used by local children for playing games and also used by all locals for any occasions.

But suddenly on 14/06/10 some unknown Muslim men came to this area and started measuring the land. When inquired by the locals that what were they up to? They replied that they have come from the Muslim WAKF Board and they were measuring the land as they have plans to construct a mosque on that spot.

On hearing this, local residents mostly Hindus and a few Christian were shocked and protested against this plan. The Muslims challenged the locals and said that no one can stop them from building a mosque there. This resulted in a heated argument between the two communities.

On 15th June, some outsider Muslims came with some labourers and construction materials with the protection of large police contingent. The Deputy Commissioner and the Officer in Charge of local police station gave full protection of the allegedly illegal construction.

The peace loving Hindus of the area are extremely agitated over this expansionist and sinister design of the outsider Muslims and the indulgence of the administration and political parties.

Therefore Hindus of the area got united cutting across party line. Particularly the Hindu women folk of the area came out aggressively on the street to protest, because they will be the worst victims of the Muslim infiltration in Hindu area. Due to their fierce protest, the outsider Muslims had to stop the construction work twice on 15th and 16th June.

The message spread widely. Today morning, a large number of Muslims assembled at the seven point crossing of Park Circus and at 3 other places. They blocked the whole traffic movement. Panic engulfed the Hindu population of a vast area. Police, Rapid Action Force and Riot Police took position to face any eventualities. All traffic had to be diverted. For 4 hours the chaos continued. In the evening too, provocative speeches were being delivered from the nearby mosques.

Perhaps Muslims could not expect such resistance from the Hindu populace. Hence they became angry. This is the area where last 29 October Hindus were attacked and 3 Hindu Temples were destroyed by the Muslim miscreants at the time of immersion of Jagaddhatri Puja. These type of incidents are very common in the Muslim dominated Park Circus area of Kolkata. As a result, Hindu migration from this area is going on steadily.

The present situation is very tense as all the political parties are supporting the illegal and illogical cause of the Muslims. It is alleged that Deputy Commissioner of Police Mr. Humayun Kabir is also helping the design of the Muslims.

It should be mentioned here that new Mosques and Madrasahs are being built in many entirely Hindu areas all over West Bengal including Kolkata. And its consequences are felt by the Hindus everywhere.

Fierce communal clashes going on in Farakka

Fierce communal clashes going on in Farakka


Fierce communal clashes going on in Farakka area of Murshidabad district. This is an area of international importance as the giant Farakka Barrage is situated there which is the life line for both West Bengal and Bangladesh. The water for both of Bangladesh and Kolkata is flown from this Barrage.

Started on 30th May for a petty matter, the Hindu Muslim dispute took violent turn. The clashes quickly spread over vast area of Farakka block involving about 15 villages.

Many Hindu villages have been looted, destroyed and burnt by the fundamentalist Muslims. Those villages are: Jafarganj, Kutighat, Imamnagar, Nayansukh, Kashinagar, Raghunathpur, Choukigram, Beniagram and Kedua.

The Hindus of these villages fled the area and have taken shelter in relatively safe Hindu areas. In spite of that, the govt. administration has been compelled to start 2 temporary “refugee camps” for the distressed Hindus, one in nearby NTPC township ‘Nubarun’ and the other in the Bhangatola village on the Malda side of the Barrage. About 2000 Hindus have taken shelter is these camps.

Many Hindus and some Muslims have been seriously injured in the clashes. More than 60 persons, both Hindus and Muslims are arrested by the police. Prohibitory section 144 has been imposed in the area to contain the situation. Large contingent of Police and RAF (Rapid Action Force) has been deployed.

Apart from these villages, there are small hamlets on the bank of river Ganga in the downstream of Farakka barrage. From these hamlets, Hindus fled to the other side of the river in Malda district.

In these villages, torture upon Hindus and molestation of Hindu women by the Muslims are regular features. The Yadav community (popularly known as Ghosh community) and the Halder community (they are refugees from East Bengal, i.e., Bangladesh) got united and fighting hard to resist Muslim onslaught. Yesterday morning, the Halders resisted the looter Muslims and saved the Hindu shopkeepers of New Farakka market.

The Farakka barrage is the only connecting bridge between south Bengal and north Bengal and Assam. According to 2001 census, in Farakka block, Hindus are 36.65 % and Muslims are 62.76%. In the neighbouring Samsherganj block, Hindu 18.69% and Muslim 81.22%. In the whole of Murshidabad district, Hindu 35.92% and Muslim 63.67%. In Farakka area, MLA is Mainul Haque (Congress) and M.P. is Abul Hasnat Chowdhury (Congress). Both are Muslims. Mr. Parvez Siddiqui, the District Magistrate of this border district too is a Muslim.

The situation in the entire area of Farakka is still tense and not under control.

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.

Hindu Samhati Holds Protest March at Haringhata Police Station

Hindu Samhati Holds Protest March at Haringhata Police Station
Deputation to Police to Protect Hindus from Islamist Extremists






PROTEST AGAINST THE ATTACK ON HARINGHATA
HINDU FESTIVAL BY MUSLIM MISCREANTS

A peaceful protest march organized by Hindu Samhati, at the Haringhata Police Station in Nadia district, passed off peacefully on May 5, 2010. Tensions had been simmering in this area over repeated assaults by Muslim miscreants on Hindus attending the Pagol Thakurer Mela, a local Hindu festival.
The procession of approximately 500 people walked 7 km. on a hot day, from Paglatala to Haringhata Police Station. The procession started at 1.30 pm and reached the venue at 3 pm, where it culminated into a protest meeting. Speakers were Tapan Ghosh, Advocate B.N. Roy, Advocate Tushar Kanti Tikader, Susen Biswas and Brahmacharini Smriti Devi. Strong slogans were raised from the procession and the meeting against the Muslim culprits and against police inaction. Thereafter a delegation of 8 members entered the police station and met the officers for detailed discussion on the security of the Hindus.
It was heartening to see that although intimation of the meeting was given to the Inspector In Charge (Subrato Sarkar) of the Police Station, his senior officer S.D.P.O. (Sub Divisional Police Officer) Bhaskar Mukherjee was present there to meet Hindu Samhati protesters . I.C. Subrato Sarkar was present too.

Even though there were some disagreements of over the facts mentioned in the memorandum, the S.D.P.O. took the protester's representation seriously, explained them in detail about the steps taken by the police to ensure safety and security of the Hindus.

They were also touched by the presence of a large number of people travelled long distances under the scorching sun, to express their grievances. Hindu Samhati protesters stressed that it is the duty of the administration to act impartially to satisfy these people.

The S.D.P.O. assured everyone that police would do its duty in bringing the culprits to justice.

The protesters were encouraged by the turnout and solidarity shown by the Hindu community of Haringhata. They vowed to continue their struggle against the continued aggression and attacks by Muslims.

Mohammadbazar, Birbhum - A Saga of the Hapless Hindu Tribals

Empty Stone Crusher
Abandoned Quarry
Tribal women returning to village
Tribal leader Rabin Soren (center)

They are the sons of the soil in this Birbhum district of West Bengal. They are Hindu tribal people. They have lived in this region since time immemorial. They used to live here in peace with the forest as their neighbour. They are not ambitious. They are not greedy. Their need is meager. They are hardworking. Their only assets are the neighbouring forests and their hard labour. Here the land is rocky and the yield is very little. And they were satisfied with it. They owned this rocky land.


This rocky land turned a curse for them. Of course 2 additional factors contributed in this curse:


(1) their innocence and (2) growing demand of stone and stone chips for our urban civilization. Especially the roads and real estate industry.


So the greedy men came from the cities and towns and converted the rocks and the land into quarries. They set up Stone Crushers for making stone chips to be transported to cities and towns. The environment of the area changed. The clear sky became covered with stone dust. This dust smothered the crops. The tribal people lost their livelihood. Hence they were compelled to take up jobs in those quarries and crushers as labourers.


Their harmony with nature was lost. Consumption of alcohol increased. Various diseases including Tuberculosis due to stone dust affected their health. Their social fabric got strained.


The work for the owners for those quarries and stone crushers was not easy. Because, according to the law of our country, the Tribal people’s land are not saleable to non tribals, the nature of forest land is inconvertible. Moreover, obtaining clearance from Pollution Control Board is almost impossible fulfilling all its conditions. So, the owners opted for illegal methods of fraudulence and bribing the govt. officers. 20-30 years back, Sindhi people were owners of these units. Slowly they made way for the Muslims in this business. These Muslim owners proved to be much more efficient in this fraud and all types of illegal and immoral methods. Hence the business increased manifold in their hand. Now there are about 150 quarry and 1200 stone crushers in the whole of Birbhum district. Ninety percent of those are owned by Muslims. Among those, only 35 quarries and 231 crushers are licensed.


These owners brought Muslim managers, labour supervisors and a large number of Muslim labourers from nearby Murshidabad district. In Mohammadbazar block, one noted antisocial Seikh Kamaal Khan took the lead. Once upon a time, a petty criminal Kamaal Khan now owns at least 3 quarries and a number of stone crushers, of course by all fraudulent and illegal means. Local people believe that this Kamaal Khan is in regular contact with ISI of Pakistan.


These Muslim owners, managers, supervisors and labour contractors set their greedy eyes on the healthy tribal women and girls. It was really difficult for the poor tribal people to protect the honour of their womenfolk from the lust of these rich and powerful Muslims. It is most unfortunate but true that all concerned govt. and police officers take illegal money from these Muslims. So, the administration put a blind eye to these atrocities. For these hapless tribal people, in the words of Rabindranath Tagore “bicharer bani nirabe nibhrite kande”.


The tribals were fuming.


Moreover, the huge stock of explosives, which are used to blast the rocks, often creates unwanted explosions killing innocent tribal people and damaging the houses (in fact huts) of the poor tribals. On 5 February, a huge explosion in Kamaal Khan’s quarry damaged many houses of the tribal people in vicinity. When they protested, Khan brought criminals from outside to hurl bombs on those protesters to make them silent. This time the tribal people were not cowed down because their backs had been pushed to wall. So, they offered resistance to these criminals and their backer Kamaal Khan. Then only, the govt. administration had been compelled to intervene and shut down that illegal quarry of Khan.


To save the honour of the women, the leaders of the tribal community made some rules to be obeyed by all. One such rule is : no outsider will enter in any tribal locality after 6 pm. The reason is obvious. But many loose character Muslims were not inclined to obey the restriction. One Bashirul Sheikh of Muslim dominated Kapasdanga village was one of them.
Despite repeated warnings, he ventured regularly in one tribal village Baromasia at night. On 19 April at 12 midnight, when he was involved in immoral act, Debu Soren allegedly hit upon his shoulder with an axe. Bashirul died on the spot.


Later on Bashirul’s body was recovered by police. After post mortem it was handed over to the crusher owner. The Muslim owners and the Owners’ Association fully controlled by the Muslims thought, enough is enough. It will be difficult for them to run the units and make profit if the tribals are not taught a lesson. Moreover, they are absolutely unwilling to stop sexually exploiting the tribal women as if it is their birth right. Therefore they planned the strategy. They brought a large number of Muslim criminals from outside. On 22 April, they took out a huge procession in the name of ‘condolence procession’ through the tribal villages. Most unfortunately, the Muslim labourers joined the sinister design of the Owners’ Association, no need to mention for their community affinity. Police was informed. They were there.


It did not turn out to be a ‘condolence procession’. It was a pistol wielding rampaging procession. It passed through 6 tribal villages. The rampaging processionists looted all the 6 villages at gunpoint. There were very little to loot. So, they were not satisfied. Hence they sprinkled petrol on the mud houses and burnt those houses down. They beat up and tortured the hapless villagers and molested the women. They also plundered the livestock of the poor tribals. In Sagarbandi village, Dhatu Hembrom deposited Rs. 12,000 for his daughter’s marriage. The whole amount was looted by the rampaging Muslim mob. The villages were Sagarbandi, Chanda, Pachami, Natungram, Mothrapahari and Harmadanga. To save their lives, all villagers fled away. One Motilal Maddi, aged 40 plus, could not escape. He was brutally killed stoned to death. His brother Mangal Maddi and Kabiraj Murmu were seriously injured. And all these happened in front of police. It should be mentioned here that the Muslim owners of these illegal units are protected by the ruling CPIM. Hence police was mute spectator.


About 3000 tribal villagers had to flee fearing for their life. Many tribals are still missing. When the Hindu Samhati team visited the affected area on 26 April, they saw some villagers were returning.


After this massacre, the tribal people put up a strong resistance. They formed groups with their traditional weapons, i.e., machetes, axes and bow and arrows. They attacked the quarries and stone crushers. Now, all the Muslim labourers and owners and management staff fled away. At least half a dozen of them were killed in flight by arrows. According to Sunil Soren and Rabin Soren of Birbhum Aadibasi Gaunta, two Muslim miscreants Kalu Seikh and Anarul Seikh were killed trying to make bombs.


Now the situation is tense. The battle line is clearly drawn. Non tribal Hindus of the area are in full sympathy with the tribals’ struggle for self respect. They are lending their helping hand to the tribals despite the losses incurred by them for closure of the units. On the other side are all the Muslim owners, staff, labourers and local Muslim villagers. The corrupt govt. officers are on their (Muslim) side.


Now the situation is extremely tense. All the quarry and crusher units are closed and empty. As the houses of the tribals have been burnt and looted, relief camps and community kitchens have been put up. Groups of armed tribal youths are guarding all tribal villages and entry points round the clock. The area of tribal agitation is expanding everyday because the problems are similar everywhere.


Mainly 3 organisations are leading the agitation – ‘Birbhum Aadibasi Gaunta’, ‘Adibasi Raksha Mancha’ and ‘Majhi Pargana Daichi’. Hindu Samhati team visited the area, distributed medicine and assured the tribal leaders of all kind of help.


It should be mentioned here that, though Birbhum is not a border district, its Muslim population crossed 35 percent in 2001 (0 – 6 year age group Muslim children population was 41.15%). In Mohammadbazar block, the Muslim population was 29.03% in 2001. What signal comes out of 2011 census, it is yet to be seen. In this district, Nalhati and Muraroi blocks have already turned Muslim majority.


Apart from Kamaal Khan, Nazir Hussain Mallik, Musharraf Khan, Salauddin, Azim Seikh, etc. organized the attack on tribals.

UPDATE----Hindu Villagers Attacked in Birbhum....continued

TRIBAL WOMEN MIGRATED TO JHARKHAND


Hindu Samhati to send Team to Birbhum


The poor Hindu tribal women are regularly sexually exploited and raped by Muslim goons all over West Bengal. But in recent months the matter has become so worse in the Mohammadbazar area in Birbhum district that after last two days incidents, tribal organisations from Jharkhand had to intervene to protect the honor of their womenfolk.


The West Bengal administration has been miserably failed in this regard. From the response and attitude of the police officers notwithstanding what they say, the tribals are convinced that this administration possesses no will power to take any decisive steps to protect them from the onslaught of the powerful and rich Muslim miners and their Islamist goons. So the tribal mukhias/leaders sent SOS to neighbouring Jharkhand. The response is prompt and quick. The AJSU (All Jharkhand Student's Union) leaders of Jharkhand sent their representatives to Mohammadbazar to gauge the seriousness of the situation. Receiving report from these representatives, they sent buses directly from Jharkhand to Mohammadbazar on 23rd midnight. On 24th April morning, at least four busloads of tribal Hindu women from Mohammadpur have been shifted to Jharkhand. Two Maruti vans (omni) loaded with tribal Hindu youth escorted those women out of peril.


Police in West Bengal is completely aware in know of this development. But they have not tried to stop them from migrating to Jharkhand, they (police) are relieved by this.


Hindu Samhati will be sending a team to investigate the incident and offer total support to the Hindus of Birbhum who are affected."Today (25 April) me and my team are going to Birbhum." said Tapan Ghosh, president of Hindu Samhati. "Tomorrow we will attempt to enter the affected tribal villages of the area. From media reports it has been known that the Muslim goons are checking there for every outsider and media person. So, by the will of Ishwar we will persevere and do our best to protect our women and honor of Birbhum's Hindus."

Hindu Villagers Attacked by Muslim Mafia in Birbhum, West Bengal

Suri: One person was killed and several were injured in a clash at several Hindu tribal-dominated villages in Birbhum’s Mohammad Bazaar, the heart of the stone mining belt, on Thursday.

A Muslim mob, reportedly backed by the local stone crushers and mine owners (all Muslims), launched an attack on the Hindu villages early in the morning. The attack was reportedly in retaliation to the killing of a corrupt Muslim stone crusher supervisor on Monday.

The Hindu villages have seen simmering tension for the past couple of months, with villagers alleging that poor tribals were exploited and their land snatched away by the Muslims in the stone-crushing industry. They had also been complaining that villagers were often injured during blasting in stone mines. Also, there has been rampant compalints of Hindu women being attacked and assaulted by Muslim activists along the whole mining belt in West Bengal and Jharkhand.

On Monday night, a supervisor of a stone crushing unit, Basirul Seikh (50, an Muslim and known Hindu baiter), was killed by a group of villagers at Talbandi. Though Basirul worked in a stone product company, he recently procured a plot of land to set up a stone mine in the area. His brother, Jamirul, alleged that his elder brother was summoned to resolve a dispute over the plot with some locals. He reached the house of one Debu Hansda, with whom he was acquainted. Suddenly, a group of armed villagers attacked Basirul and hacked him to death. Both the brothers were involved in various anti-social activities and often conspired with Muslims in the area to torture and molest local Hindu tribal women.

Early on Thursday morning, thousands of people — labourers and villagers backed by stone crushing unit owners — gathered at a place near Sagarbandhi village, said police. The heavily armed mob rushed to Talbandhi and Sagarbandhi, which is dominated by Santhal tribals. More than 100 thatched houses were set on fire, people were dragged out of their homes and beaten up mercilessly and bombs hurled indiscriminately. Women were molested and raped, children were not spared.

Though it took some time for the initial shock to go away, the tribal Hindu victims — numbering thousands — regrouped and started attacking the nearby stone crusher units, many of them owned by Muslim mining mafia bosses. A weighbridge and some crushers were set ablaze. The situation was so tense that police could not enter the trouble zone initially. It was only after six hours that senior officers — District Magistrate Saumitra Mohan, DIG, Burdwan range, Jagmohan, SP Rabindranath Mukherjee and ASP Farhat Abbas — managed to get in with force backup.

The angry tribals surrounded them for some time. Two injured Hindu men — Mangala Murdi and Kabiraj Murmu, who received serious bomb injuries — were taken to Suri hospital in serious condition. A large team — including combat force and EFR jawans — was deployed in the area, but stray clashes continued to occur in some areas. The forces discovered the body of a Hindu villager, Motilal Tudu, from Sagarbandhi.

The media, too, was not allowed into the villages. A cameraperson who tried to enter was chased out. The District Magistrate said: “We are discussing the situation with villagers. The villagers are cooperating with us.” When asked whether they were encircled by the villagers, he denied it. According to sources, however, senior police officers and the DM were kept sitting under a tree in Sagarbandhi.

The District Magistrate said that they would distribute relief materials and that the district administration would help the villagers to reconstruct the destroyed homes. The district administration has called an all-party meeting at Suri on Thursday evening.

Najir Hossain Mallik (a known Islamist), the president of Panchami Stone Mines and Owners Association, said: “We, the owners, were not at all involved in the attack. We have requested the administration to bring back peace at any cost.” Mr. Mallik is known as 'Mr Terror' in the area and the non-Muslim crowd in the area has expressed serious concerns about this man and his unholy Islamic nexus.
