Oh!
is it true?
Yes,
here is the evidence.
On 3-January-2016,
more than 2 lakh Muslims under the banner of Anjuman Ahle Sunnatul Jamat (ASJ) organization,
gathered in the West Bengal’s Malda district, set fire to Kaliachak police
station, beat locals and police personal, burnt nearby Hindu houses, shops and
vehicles. The extent of damage can be seen in this below images and video.
What
Happened:
These
Muslims were taking out a rally demanding an already jailed person, Kamlesh
Tiwari, to be hanged, for his alleged remarks on Mohammad. By seeing a passing BSF
vehicle on same road, this Muslim crowd immediately became violent and attacked
it. Within minutes these people started huge scale of violence without any
interruption for hours.
In
this mean time, they have set ablaze to Kaliachak Police station, block
development office, multiple BSF vehicles, NBSTC buses, hundreds of private
vehicles, blocked NH-34, and disturbed the train services passing through nearby
Khaltipur railway station, deliberately burnt Durga, Shani and other Hindu temples.
This crowd broke into nearly 400 Hindu houses, molested women and abused using vulgar
slang, beat some youth using some sharp weapons and local made guns.
West
Bengal Government Role:
The
locals say police immediately escalated ground reality to their
higher officers, in response they were advised to escape the scene but
strictly ordered not to fire a single bullet on Muslim protesters. Is it not indirectly
allowing the violent mob to execute as per their pre-planned agenda?
This
incident took place on 3 rd January, 2016. But, state government lead by Mamatha
Benarjee reacted only after 72 hours, that is on 6th January when central government asked to submit a report on Malda incident. In response to this, the WB government arrested BJP MLA Shamik Bhattacharya and 10 people alleging they are linked
with the riots.
Media
Was Silent:
Amazingly
almost all the national /local big and small print and electronic media houses of
the country were silent on this Malda riots for more than 48 hours. Though the
same media was reporting on minute-to-minute update on terrorist attack
that was taking place at Pathankot airbase in Punjab at same time. This kind of
attitude in covering one incident 24/7 and ignoring other which has similar
kind of seriousness raises serious doubts and integrity of all media houses,
who deliberately suppressed this news.
This incident clearly exposes how media is biased towards
some serious issues. On Dadri, when the victim was from Muslim community, the
same media covered it 24/7 and ran some marathon series of episodes on analyzing
the incident, but here on Malda violence,
the same media went mute and silent, is it because the victims are from Hindu
community?
