Irani accuses West Bengal CM of protecting those who pelted Hindu procession with stones

[ad_1]
New Delhi Union minister Smriti Irani on Friday hit out at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the violence during a Ram Navami procession in Howrah and accused her of protecting those who pelted it with stones.
In a statement, the BJP leader said it was not the first time that such an “attack” happened on a religious exercise of Hinduism and alleged a similar attack had taken place during Lakshmi Puja.
“Even then Mamata Banerjee could not protect the Hindu community,” Irani said.
“Instead of delivering justice, CM Mamata protected those who took law in their hands and attacked the Shobha Yatra of Ram Navami. She instead put those who took out the yatra in the dock and gave a clean chit to those who pelted the procession with stones,” the Union minister said.
Banerjee on Friday asserted that neither Hindus nor Muslims, but the BJP and other right-wing organisations were behind the violence in Howrah’s Kazipara area during a procession on Ram Navami.
She also appealed to the people of both communities to maintain peace and law and order in the area.

Mumbai: 21 arrested over stone pelting at Ram Navami procession in Malvanib

[ad_1]
Mumbai: As many as 21 persons have been arrested so far in connection with the stone pelting at a Ram Navami procession in suburban Malad (West), police said on Friday.
The tensions on Thursday night began following disputes over the loud DJ music being played in the procession as it was passing through the vicinity of mosques in Malvani area, a police official said.
A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered against nearly 300 identified and unidentified persons at the Malvani police station, he said.
As per the FIR, more than 6,000 persons had participated in the Ram Navami procession organised by the Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and other Hindu organizations.
The procession began from Ram Janki temple late in the afternoon.
Around 7.25 pm, as it was moving towards Jama Masjid, around 100 to 150 people objected to the high volume of music as namaz was going on in the mosque, said a local police official.
As the volume of music was not lowered, there was some slogan-shouting and one of the men who had objected to loud music allegedly hurled a stone at the procession and it hit a participant, he added.
Police personnel deputed for security along the route immediately took the man who had thrown the stone into custody, he said.

As per the FIR, when the procession was near the Ali Hazrat mosque around 8.45 pm, a mob of 200 to 250 persons began to pelt stones.
As police tried to bring the situation under control, some people in the mob hurled stones at them and manhandled some police personnel, the FIR said.
Earlier, police had said that there was a “clash” between the procession participants and the other group, but the FIR did not mention it.
Additional police force was called in and police used “mild force” to disperse people from both sides, said a senior official.
Members of right-wing organisations gathered outside Malvani police station late at night demanding action against those who pelted stones.
Senior police officers and local politicians reached the spot and the situation was brought under control, the official added.
The FIR was registered under Indian Penal Code sections 353 (assault or use of criminal force to deter a public servant from discharge of his duty), 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means), 145 (unlawful assembly), 147 (rioting ) and relevant sections of the Maharashtra Police Act.
“The miscreants who tried to create tension during the procession are being identified with the help of drone and CCTV footage and action is being taken against them,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Ajay Bansal told reporters.
More arrests are likely, he added.
A large number of police personnel were deployed in the area and the situation was under control, Bansal said, while appealing people to maintain peace and not to believe rumours.

Violence over Ram Navami procession in Bengal’s Howrah

[ad_1]
Howrah: Violence broke out between two groups when a Ram Navami procession was taken out in West Bengal’s Howrah city, where several vehicles were torched and shops were ransacked on Thursday evening.
Police said a number of people were detained in this connection.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who is on a dharna, said strict action will be taken against the culprits.
A police officer said the incident occurred when the procession was passing through the Kazipara locality.
Several shops and auto-rickshaws were ransacked during the violence while a number of cars including a few police vehicles were set on fire. Four fire tenders were pressed into service to extinguish the blaze.
The police used force to disperse the mob. A large contingent of police was deployed in the locality where the situation is stated to be under control.
The chief minister slammed the BJP for allegedly trying to stoke communal tension during the Ram Navami procession in Howrah and said those involved in the incident will not be spared.
“I have repeatedly said that I will not block any Ram Navami procession. I had given clear instructions to the police in this regard. While one community is celebrating Annapurna Puja, the other is observing fast during Ramzan,” she said while concluding her 30-hour extended sit-in in a demonstration in the city.

“Those who were involved in today’s violence will not be spared. I do not support riot mongers and consider them the enemy of the country. The BJP has always targeted Howrah. The other targets for them are Park Circus and Islampur. Everybody must be alert in their localities,” she said.
Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, however, dubbed the allegations as baseless.
“The chief minister and the state administration are responsible for the violence,” Adhikari, the Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal assembly, said.

Restriction on Ram Navami procession: BJP MLA asks if Jharkhand is ruled by Taliban

[ad_1]
Ranchi: The BJP on Tuesday created a ruckus in the Jharkhand Assembly over restrictions imposed on Ram Navami procession and wondered if the state is being ruled by the Taliban.
During the Question Hour, BJP legislator Maish Jaiswal demanded that DJ (large music system) be allowed in Hazaribag’s Ram Navami procession.
An agitated Jaiswal also tore his kurta while making the statement.
Wondering whether people are living in a state ruled by the Taliban, Jaiswal alleged that FIRs were filed against innocent people while five persons are on fast unto death in his constituency Hazaribag demanding that DJ be allowed during the procession.
Jaiswal also alleged that there was a deliberate attempt to destroy the 104-year-old tradition of Ram Navami procession in Hazaribagh.
BJP MLAs chanted slogans such as ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and ‘Jai Hanuman’ in the House and created uproarious scenes.
Minister Mithilesh Thakur claimed that those staging dharna seeking to play DJ in Hazaribag are BJP workers.
“There is a directive to comply with the orders of the Supreme Court and the high court regarding the decibel limit. We respect all religions – Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian. We are real devotees of Ram,” he said.

Hundreds of people recently took out a rally in Hazaribag against the administration’s order prohibiting the playing of recorded music and carrying traditional weapons including lathis during Ram Navami processions.
Ram Navami processions in Hazaribag are held for a longer time compared to other parts of the state.
Amid the uproar, Congress MLA Deepika Pandey Singh reached the well of the House claiming she was insulted by the BJP as a saffron party MP has described her as Nagarvadhu’ (bride of the city).
She said: “I am a mother. I am a sister. They (BJP) don’t want Goddesses and Gods. They want a city bride. They are not Hindus, they act in the name of Hindus.”
Meanwhile, the Assembly passed two bills for setting up private universities in the state amid a demand by the BJP for sending the proposed legislation to the Select Committing for proper vetting.
Thakur said setting up two more universities would result in increasing enrolment of students for higher education. There are 16 private universities in Jharkhand.

Hyderabad: Man arrested for carrying out wedding procession

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: It is never a good idea to get drunk till you drop at a wedding and worse if your drunken state happens to have a little chat with the police.
Well that’s what happened with 27-year-old Srawan who entered into an argument with the Hyderabad police and hindered them from discharging their duties.
Srawan was part of a marriage brigade that reportedly had not taken prior permission from the police to take out the baraat. According to police, it is mandatory for a marriage party with the band to seek permission in order to avoid traffic.
A drunken Srawan entered into an argument with then police leading to his arrest. A case was booked against him under the City Police Act 70 A, B, C and Section 186 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Srawan was brought into police custody wearing his finest party clothes. He was punished with simple imprisonment of ten days and a fine of Rs 650/- by the magistrate.
