LUCKNOW - Hundreds of troops have been deployed to quell deadly riots and clashes between Hindus and Muslims sparked by the killing of three villagers who had objected when a young woman was being harassed in northern India.
Police said 19 people were killed, including an Indian broadcast journalist, a police photographer and several people who on Sunday succumbed to injuries received a day earlier when the two groups set upon each other with guns and knives in Kawal village, in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
The violence quickly spread to neighbouring villages in Muzaffarnagar district Saturday night.
“A curfew has been imposed in three riot-hit areas of Muzaffarnagar,” said the head of the state’s home ministry, RM Srivastava. “The situation is still very tense, but under control.”
Soldiers were going door to door to search for weapons. A state of high alert was declared for the entire state of Uttar Pradesh, which has a population of 200 million people.
The clashes broke out Saturday after thousands of Hindu farmers held a meeting in Kawal to demand justice in the Aug 27 killing of three men who had spoken out when a woman was being verbally harassed.
The state’s minority welfare minister, Muhammad Azam Khan, said some at the meeting gave provocative speeches calling for Muslims to be killed.
The farmers were attacked as they were returning home after the meeting, senior police official Arun Kumar said.
“The attack seemed well planned,” Kumar said. “Some were armed with rifles and sharp-edged weapons.”
Gunfire was reported from several areas of the village. Within hours clashes broke out in neighbouring villages, Kumar said.
The Indian army was called in, an unusual measure, to contain the communal violence. An army contingent of up to 800 was dispatched to the area on Saturday night, as armed gangs of Jats, a group practising Hinduism, stormed a mosque and a village with Muslim residents, RM Srivastava said.
“We had sought assistance of the army last night after we found the violence spreading across to other villages,” Srivastava told Reuters.“In fact, we were able to bring things under control until fresh violence broke out in (a) village Sunday morning.”
“I would appeal to all the people there to maintain peace and do not trust or listen to any rumors,” Akhilesh Yadav, Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister, told reporters.
Arun Kumar, a senior police official, said tensions were fuelled by an online video purporting to show the killing of two Muslim youths last month.
Local media said about 50 outbreaks of communal tension have occurred in populous Uttar Pradesh since the region’s Samajwadi (Socialist) Party came to power last year. More than 25 people have died.
A leader from the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party said tensions had been simmering since the three men were killed Aug 27 in a tea shop.
“Had the killers been arrested, the situation might not have gone out of hand,” Vijay Bahadur Pathak said.
Uttar Pradesh was at the heart of some of India’s worst communal clashes in December 1992, after a Hindu mob razed the 16th-century Babri mosque in Ayodhya.
The government has warned that India is seeing a rise in communal violence, with 451 incidents reported already this year, compared with 410 for all of 2012.
Tensions were expected to escalate in the run-up to next year’s national elections, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde told reporters in New Delhi on Saturday. He said all 28 of India’s states should stay alert and improve their ability to gather intelligence.
Communal violence last month left two dead and 22 injured in a village in Bihar state, east of Uttar Pradesh, according to Indian media. Outbreaks have also been reported recently in Uttar Pradesh’s district of Shamli, as well as in the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir.

This is why Gurudwaras had policy of keeping weapons in the past. But the funny thing,the british partially disarmed us and seculars totally disarmed us since the 50's and in 1984 ,but have allowed muslims to keep weapons in their masjids.

I wonder at times who was Indira Gandhi ,she had so many affairs with muslims...

Just allow Temples to keep weapons and then see,muslims will not dare attack hindus. Even today muslims are cautious of attacking gurudwaras for they fear sikhs have weapons.

So now it is proven beyond doubt that these riots were started by whom .

But if they end up at the receiving end , they will again start playing the victim card .

'My mother tried to drag us away but they chased us'

One of the two epicentres of violence on Sunday in Muzaffarnagar district, a part of Kutba village, has turned into ghost village. Rioters armed with guns, knives and petrol bombs ambushed residents Sunday morning and left three dead and at least eight injured besides several torched buildings including a masjid.

Shamshad Khan and his family were attempting to flee the village anticipating just this when they were waylaid. Shamshad was bludgeoned to death, his wife Taurik is in critical condition at the Muzaffarnagar civil hospital and their two children and nephews suffered serious head wounds.

Khan's six-year-old son refuses to leave his mother's side while his three-year-old brother and two nephews of the same age lay huddled together on bed next to her.

In halting words, he describes what befell his family. "We were near the bridge on the way to Dharmpur to my uncle's house when a gang of men attacked us. They hit my father on the head with an iron rod and my mother tried to drag us away. But they chased us and hit us all," he said.

According to Khan's son, a passing police jeep thwarted any attempts of further violence. "A police jeep came and the men ran away. We were then brought to this hospital," Khan's son said.

"They were brought to the hospital in the morning with serious injuries. Shamshad succumbed and Taurik underwent surgery. She is in critical condition. They did not even spare the children," said Jamshed Ali, who was in the hospital when Shamshad and his family were brought in and is now looking after them.

By Sunday evening, violence in Kutba was quelled but only after sustained and combined efforts of the police, CRPF, PAC and Army. A CRPF officer posted at the village said, "The attackers came from the fields around the village. They targeted a particular community and flung petrol bombs and fired bullets. Though we returned fire, our priority was to get people out of the village. We moved more than 150 people from here to a police station."

Your own people. Your call to find out if Muslims started it or Hindus started it.

Its funny that you are happy that Indian Muslims are lynched by Indian Hindus. whereas you are ignoring the fact that this is only going to harm your country NOT Islam.
