Communal tension rising in Bawana ahead of Muharram
- 5 years ago
Communal tension is rising in Northwest Delhi’s Bawana locality two days ahead of Muharram.
On Sunday, a large number of Hindu residents from villages took part in a mahapanchayat, which demanded that a taziya procession be barred from passing through Bawana village and the main marketplace as the religious procession was “provocative and violent”.
Leaders at the mahapanchayat, which saw the presence and support of BJP MLA from the area, Gugan Singh, said if the taziya procession was to be carried out, “the administration would be responsible for the violence that will ensue”.
In the first week of October, there was similar tension in Bawana before Eid, with Hindus alleging that their cattle was being stolen and sacrificed by Muslims.
Posters urging “Hindu unity” were distributed ahead of the gathering. Pradeep Gaur of Bawana village said, “They wield swords and use fire in a show of strength. They are free to do it outside their homes, but we will not allow them to pass through our area.”
