Srinagar, Jan 14 (KNS): A delegation of Jama’at-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir (JeI) comprising of Advocate Zahid Ali and Abdul Karim Nadvi visited the victimized family of Miskeen Ali in the village Hariachak in Kathua district some six kms. from the Indo-Pak border. The RSS backed communalist elements with a well designed plan provoked the local Hindu population after mysteriously throwing severed head and limbs of a cow in the premises of said Miskeen Ali during the night intervening 8th and 9th of the current month hiding limbs in a heap of grass belonging to the victim. A mob of about four thousand infuriated Hindus attacked the Muslim hamlet in particular the houses belonging to Miskeen Ali and his relatives causing a huge damage to the property of the hapless Muslims. Their residential houses and cow sheds were stoned smashing the glass panes and their vehicles including Mahindra load carrier, a tractor, and 407 mini truck got damaged besides burning down some heaps of grass. The women folk were also manhandled and threatened of dire consequences in case they do not leave the present place.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelThe main culprits behind this well-planned attack were the local sarpanch Darshan Sharma and his pet colleagues. These elements want to grab the huge land owned by Haji Aalam and other Muslim families. Instead of taking any action against the culprits, the police has deliberately played the role of spectators and failed to protect the property and person of the minority Muslim community. A number of persons from Muslim community also got injured. None of the officials from the administration has so far visited the locality to assess the damage caused to these helpless Muslims which has encouraged the communal elements backed by the local RSS goons.
Jama’at-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir expresses total solidarity with the victims of the communal frenzy of RSS goons backed by the BJP politicians who are openly challenging the existence of Muslims in Jammu and some BJP leaders have a number of times threatened the local Muslims by reminding them of 1947 massacre.
