Hindu woman in UP forced to cancels property sale to Muslim man

New Delhi: A Hindu woman was forced to cancel the sale of a plot to a member of the Muslim community after some residents protested the sale by citing the religious identity of the purchaser in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district.

According to Kashmir Media Service, a widow woman named Jyoti Seth in Bareilly’s Biharipur Khatriya area decided to sell 250 square feet plot to a Muslim man Tasleem and received advance payment. The area is nearby a Dargah.

The sale did not go well with Hindu residents as the buyer was a Muslim. They protested and submitted a complaint with the district magistrate stirring tension in the area.

Seth, who cancelled the property deal, said she had sold the plot out of compulsion and now cancelled it. She asked the opposing residents to come up with Hindu customers.

The residents, who opposed the property deal with Muslims, described the sale as “Land Jihad” and “blackmailing”. They shouted slogans “Land Jihad won’t be Allowed” and “Blackmailing will not be allowed”.
