New Delhi: Peace and tranquility in the NEB neighbourhood of Alwar city in Rajasthan have been disrupted as political and religious tensions rise over the targeting of a madrassa by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP).<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the controversy began when former BJP MLA Banwarilal Singhal, along with members of the VHP and Bajrang Dal, submitted a memorandum to the District Collector accusing the madrassa management of ‘encroaching’ land under a stay order by the Urban Improvement Trust (UIT).<\/p>\n
Singhal said ‘Illegal’ construction is being done in violation of the law, which shows the administration\u2019s inaction. He called upon the authorities to take strict measures against the madrassa management for allegedly disregarding the stay order.<\/p>\n
However, this move has raised questions among local communities and political observers, especially given the wider context of similar exercises across BJP-ruled states such as Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Assam, and Madhya Pradesh. In many of these states, Hindu organisations like the VHP and Bajrang Dal have protested against Muslim religious sites, often with strong political backing.<\/p>\n
Sher Mohammad, patron of the Meo Panchayat Board and Sadar of District Meo Panchayat, spoke to reporters and firmly denied the allegations. \u201cThis is a politically motivated attempt to spread religious tension in society,\u201d he said. \u201cThe land of the madrasa was allotted through proper procedures by the Urban Improvement Trust (UIT), and taxes are paid regularly.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Sher Mohammad, the construction work cited in the memorandum was merely the repair of some domes that had become dilapidated, and this work had been underway for three months before being halted by police orders. He questioned why the issue was raised only now. \u201cBringing up this matter after three months is clearly a conspiracy to disturb peace,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Sher Mohammad appealed to the administration, saying, \u201cIf there is any illegal construction anywhere, we are ready to cooperate fully with the authorities to resolve the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also highlighted the peaceful nature of the Muslim community, saying, \u201cWe believe in peace and brotherhood. The administration should take strict action against those who try to mislead society on religious grounds so that communal harmony is not harmed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Residents in the NEB area expressed concern over the protests escalating tensions. One resident, Mohammad Yusuf, said, \u201cWe have lived peacefully for years. This sudden accusation feels like an attempt to create unrest where there was none.\u201d<\/p>\n
This incident comes at a time when communal harmony in various parts of the country is under strain. Experts warn that political and religious groups must exercise caution and avoid actions that could incite unrest.<\/p>\n
Human rights activist Farah Khan commented, \u201cCommunal harmony is delicate and should not be compromised for political gains. Allegations must be backed by clear evidence, and authorities should act impartially.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
