Saffron flags atop 200-yr-old mausoleum: No arrest made in UP's Fatehpur so far
1 2 Prayagraj: The entire Abunagar and adjoining areas under the limits of Kotwali Nagar police station in Fatehpur district were on Tuesday turned into a fortress after Monday's incident wherein members of Hindu organisations allegedly entered the Eidgah premises and hoisted saffron flags atop a 200-year-old mausoleum on the campus, claiming that it was raised at the site of a temple. However, no arrest was made till Tuesday evening. Police had on Monday lodged an FIR against 10 named individuals and 150 unknown persons for disturbing peace. Those named in the FIR included Abhishek Shukla, Dharmendra, Ashish Trivedi, Pappu Singh, Prasoon, Ritik Pal, Vinay Tiwari, Pushpraj Patel, Ajay Singh, and Devnath Dhakre. Kotwali Nagar police station inspector Tarkeshwar Rai told TOI that the situation remained peaceful throughout Tuesday. He further added that cops maintained a strict watch in the areas and adequate forces were deployed at various locations accordingly. Apart from senior officials camping and maintaining strict vigilance, cops on Tuesday carried out patrolling in Abunagar and adjoining areas to maintain law and order. No one was allowed to move towards the disputed site. The local administration and police appealed to citizens to maintain peace in the area. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Best Method for a Flat Stomach After 50 (It's Genius!) Lulutox Undo The incident occurred on Monday morning despite the police bandobast, sparking outrage among members of the local Muslim community and leading to a tussle between the two opposing camps. While there were claims that members of the Hindu Mahasabha and other saffron groups damaged a part of a tomb near the mausoleum, the district administration denied any vandalism. Following the incident, an FIR against 10 named and 150 unidentified individuals was registered under sections 190, 191(2), 191(3), 301, 196 of the BNS Act, 07 of the CLA Act, and sections 2/3 of the Public Property Damage Prevention Act for forcibly entering and vandalising a disputed mausoleum site. Police claimed to have formed special teams to apprehend the people named in the FIR, but no arrest was made on Tuesday. Since last week, adequate police forces were deployed on the Eidgah campus after members of an organisation named Math Mandir Sangharsh Samiti submitted a memorandum to the Fatehpur district authorities claiming that the mausoleum of Nawab Abdul Samad was constructed at the site of the Thakurji temple. On Monday, scores of Hindu activists reached the spot unexpectedly, briefly overwhelming the police. Police resorted to lathicharge and summoned reinforcements from 10 police stations to contain the rampaging crowd after the members of the Hindu group outnumbered the cops present on the Eidgah campus and hoisted saffron flags atop the structure. Soon after the incident, senior cops reached the scene, conducted a flag march, and deployed additional SPs from five districts. The saffron flags were later removed, and both communities were urged to maintain peace. Three companies of the Provincial Armed Constabulary, officers from headquarters, and additional staff from the zone were deployed at the site, which remained under round-the-clock vigil.

Fatehpur violence matches BJP's divisive communal politics: Akhilesh
Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday said vandalizing of a 200-year-old mausoleum in Fatehpur was in line with BJP's agenda of divisive politics that thrives on communal hatred. He demanded immediate and stringent action against those responsible for the violence. The issue rocked the state Assembly on Tuesday when Leader of Opposition and SP MLA Mata Prasad Pandey sought govt's response on the incident when parliamentary affairs minister Suresh Khanna informed the house that FIR has been lodged under stringent section of the BNS reflecting commitment of the government to bring guilty to book. Commenting on the sequence of events in Fatehpur, Akhilesh said it was yet another instance of BJP's politics of divide and rule. He said each and every person involved in the incident must be identified from the video footage and arrested immediately and action should be initiated against the district's DM and SP if they fail to initiate action against those involved. He said the incident reflected the BJP's decline and accused it of hatching conspiracies to disturb social harmony when facing public discontent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The BJP wants to spread hatred between Hindus and Muslims. Whenever anyone raises issues of public interest, the BJP ends up pitting Hindus and Muslims against each other, he said responding to media queries in Ranchi. Akhilesh said this was not the first incident with communal overtones to have taken place in Fatehpur. He said sometime back a mosque was demolished in the Fatehpur district after being labelled "illegal" on the grounds that its layout map had not been approved. He then recalled how a Muslim youth was murdered recently and action against the accused was initiated only after the locals and political parties mounted pressure on the govt.

Owaisi blames BJP for mob desecrating tomb in Fatehpur, alleges environment of hatred against Muslims in UP
Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi blamed the 'atmosphere of hatred created by the BJP' that led to a mob desecrating the tomb of Nawab Abdul Samad in Fatehpur. Mr. Owaisi, who is the president of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, while speaking to the media alleged that anti-social elements belonging to Hindutva groups, have been enjoying a free run in states like Uttar Pradesh. He further alleged such miscreants remain unchecked when they attack any site connected to the Muslim community. 'This is a result of the environment of hatred that the BJP has created. Especially in UP, they have a free run. Anything connected to Muslim culture, or history, any religious place, you are permitted to attack it, and take law in your hands. And the UP government will close its eyes and ears,' he said. He questioned why the police did not play a proactive role in stopping these miscreants. 'In the presence of police, graves are being destroyed and vandalised, and police does nothing. If the same people were from the Muslim community, then imagine what would have happened?' Mr. Owaisi claimed that 'the use of law' is based on religion and political ideology. 'This is a conspicuous example of the hatred against Muslims and to oppress them,' he said. 'What is astha then? Your astha is neither in rule of law, nor to keep the peace. You have one agenda, whether it be in Assam or UP, you want to target Muslims. You want to use bulldozers and render them homeless, or attack masjids or dargahs,' he said.
