In a bid to counter the alleged threat by BJP MP Yogi Adityanath’s outfit Hindu Yuva Vahini (HYV) after which 150 Muslim families reportedly left Madhopur village in Uttar Pradesh’s Kushinagar district, Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi’s party All-India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has announced it will reach the village on Thursday to support the Muslims.
District administration, in order to diffuse the tension over land ownership, has decided to separate the passage for Hindus and Muslims in the village. A team of officials also visited the village and prepared a report about the situation to be sent to senior officials.
Meanwhile, HYV has given a call for holding a Hindu mahapanchayat on March 2 if their worker Digvijay Kishore Shahi is not given possession of the disputed land
“Our delegation will reach Madhopur tomorrow. We will meet the Muslim families. They have been tortured by HYV. We will also meet the district administration demanding action against HYV leaders,” Shaukat Ali, state convenor, AIMIM, told The Indian Express. He said that reports by the AIMIM team will be sent to Owaisi for deciding future course of action. “We cannot tolerate harassment of Muslims by HYV in the region anymore,” he said.
On the other hand, the district administration claimed that no Muslim families, except those named in the FIR lodged by the Hindus, have ran away. Locals, however, claimed most of the Muslim houses are still locked and only 15 persons have returned so far.
“I had gone to the village today. Ten males, three females and two boys had come to the village to take stock of the situation. By evening, the women and the boys had left again,” Mohammad Anwar Siddiqui, a social worker in Kushinagar told The Indian Express. He also claimed that administration had asked him to avoid visiting village.
