Dadri Communal Tension

Government has cracked down on a number of websites for spreading hatred and communal tension after the Dadri incident, resulting in a rise in the number of cyber crime cases registered, Lok Sabha was informed today.

Citing the Dadri lynching incident, the Shiv Sena today cautioned senior ally BJP against the statements by some of its leaders on the suicide by a Dalit student in Hyderabad "boomeranging" on the party.

The central government is awaiting a report on the Dadri mob killing incident it had sought from the Akhilesh Yadav dispensation in Uttar Pradesh to ascertain factual position and action taken by the state, Lok Sabha was informed today.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's comments on writers, historians, scientists and filmmakers returning awards to protest the climate of intolerance in the country show that the Narendra Modi government is rattled by the public outcry, noted writer Nayantara Sahgal said today.

A charge sheet has been filed against Uttar Pradesh BJP leader Sangeet Som for allegedly violating the prohibitory orders imposed in Dadri's Bishada village, where a man was killed in a mob attack over rumours that he stored and consumed beef.

The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) suspects there was "pre-meditated planning" behind the Dadri killing over beef rumours and the controversial statements by politicians to make capital out of such outrages was "disturbing".

While the lynching incident in Dadri brought simmering communal tension into national focus, closer home in Dharavi, a 53-year-old businessman has set an example of Hindu-Muslim brotherhood. With the local mosque closed for redevelopment, it is thanks to this Hindu leather merchant that the local Muslim community has a place to offer namaaz.

Six more authors have decided to return their Sahitya Akademi awards as a mark of protest against rising intolerance and communal atmosphere after the death of rationalist MM Kalburgi, taking the number of such authors returning the literary honour to 16.

Days after a 52-year-old man was killed in a mob attack for allegedly eating beef, the Bishada village in Uttar Pradesh's Dadri is slowly returning to normalcy, even though political blame game continues over the incident.

A local BJP leader today filed a complaint with the Delhi Police against senior Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan accusing him of trying to create communal tension and treachery by taking the Dadri mob killing issue to the United Nations.

Two persons have been arrested for allegedly spreading rumours on social media sites even as the administration today held peace meetings at Bishada village in Dadri, Uttar Pradesh to maintain communal harmony. Last week, a 52-year-old Mohammad Akhlaq, was killed in a mob attack for allegedly eating beef.

The state administration remained firm over their decision not to allow any outsider in Dadri's Bishada village, denying entry to Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader, Sadhvi Prachi. Prohibitory orders have been imposed after a 52-year-old Muslim was killed in a mob attack for allegedly eating beef.

Hitting out at Azam Khan for seeking UN's intervention to look into the miseries of minorities in India, the Shiv Sena today said that the senior minister in the Uttar Pradesh should be removed from all constitutional posts for doing great disservice to the country.

Strongest possible action will be taken against those who try to disrupt communal harmony in the country, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said today, days after a man was lynched in Uttar Pradesh's Dadri district over beef consumption rumours.

An assistant doctor rushed in visibly disturbed at having spotted our OB van parked outside. All attempts to get her to comment on the Dadri meat sample and on the forensic report came to naught.
