someone Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Violent clashes broke out in Saharanpur in western Uttar Pradesh on Saturday over a land dispute as groups of Muslims and Sikhs clashed on the streets in broad daylight. Authorities imposed curfew in the region to bring the situation under control after two persons were killed and at least 12 others injured in the clashes between the two communities over a land dispute. The early morning violent clashes broke out around 5 a.m. Five policemen were reportedly injured as the two sides indulged in brick batting and arson. The mob also burnt shops and vehicles. People with swords ran after Sikh community while the Sikh groups indulged in stone pelting in protest as the city witnessed violence, a day after the last Friday of holy month of Ramadan. (See more exclusive pics of Saharanpur riots here) The land dispute over a Gurudwara land in Saharanpur near railway station sparked off the violence. The Gurudwara is adjacent to a huge piece of land which the Sikh community has been taking care of for past so many years. The land has been under dispute has been in controversy for some time already. The land was to witness the ‘lintel’ being dropped today in order to pursue some construction work. The Muslim community alleged that the land belongs to them and there cannot be any construction. The Sikhs defended that the land is adjacent to their Gurudwara and is rightfully theirs since many years. http://www.india.com/loudspeaker/exclusive-all-you-want-to-know-about-the-saharanpur-mini-riot-in-uttar-pradesh-103219/ So after the court verdict, we see the pious with their usual violence. And as expected, mainstream media in silence mode. Where is the champions secular brigade?
asterix Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Sad news.... Since both parties are "minorities" we've to see which community will be blamed by seculars... IMO, possibilities to blame Hindus/BJP/NDA/Modi will be explored....
diga Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 3 dead/12 injured... "Harish Kochar, a traders' leader, and an unidentified person have been killed in the clashes. A policeman has sustained bullet injury in the clashes," Saharanpur divisional commissioner Tanveer Zafar Ali said earlier in the day. Later in the evening one more death was reported. There was no immediate information about the identity of the victim.

diga Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 sad that the only news in ndtv about sahranpur is a side note.. Akal Takth had said that the situation in Sharanpur, where 2 people were killed in a communal riot over a disputed property, warranted that people concentrate on bringing peace in the UP town
Sachin=GOD Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I think its time that the Central Govt think about President's Rule in UP - Akhilesh Yadav is simply not able to control the law and order situation.
asterix Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 If we use Little bit of MTC logic then the "bigger minority" has to take the responsibility.... If we use the Full Logic of MTC, Hindus can be blamed anyway since they are the majority and they failed to protect the 2 weak minorities... :dontknow:

Number Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Seems like planned political conspiracy Sikhs alleged that the violence seemed pre-planned as Muslims from Moradabad and Muzzaparpur were also called in numbers. Gun shots were fired on the Sikhs and people with swords ran after the Sikh community in the region. Imran Masood of Cong blamed for inciting.

seedhi Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 All you want to know about the Saharanpur riots in Uttar Pradesh Violent clashes broke out in Saharanpur in western Uttar Pradesh on Saturday over a land dispute as groups of Muslims and Sikhs clashed on the streets in broad daylight. Authorities imposed curfew in the region to bring the situation under control after two persons were killed and at least 12 others injured in the clashes between the two communities over a land dispute.

Sikhs alleged that the violence seemed pre-planned as Muslims from Moradabad and Muzzaparpur were also called in numbers. Gun shots were fired on the Sikhs and people with swords ran after the Sikh community in the region. Shops belonging to Sikh community in Nehru Market were set on fire by the angry mob. A witness in Saharanpur said that angry mob targetted shops owned by Sikh community. Traffic on the national highway connecting Ambala was thrown out of gear as protestors went on the rampage. District officials said curfew has been clamped in Saharanpur city. Over two dozen shops and vehicles were gutted. A dozen people have been arrested for inciting violence over the land dispute. The fresh riots in Saharanpur once again brings to light poor administration and failure of the state government to take remedial measures. It seems the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party has not learnt any lessons from the Muzzafarpur riots last year. Wake up Akhilesh Yadav! http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-all-you-want-to-know-about-the-saharanpur-riots-in-uttar-pradesh-2005562
Detonator Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 RIP. Stones and sticks vs guns and swords? I think Sikhs were defending themselves. Where did they got the guns? How can they organize in such a scale? POTA shld be passed again Imo.
