Shafaqna Pakistan: Hindutva extremists on Friday held a mahapanchayat or congregation at Bharthal Chowk in Dwarka in protest against the construction of a Haj House. The event was attended by Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta and other BJP leaders.
Videos from the event have emerged on social media, wherein extremists can be seen making communally sensitive remarks. In a video clip, they are seen raising slogans like Jai Shri Ram and Vande Matram during a march.
A few days ago, All Dwarka Residents’ Federation had written to Lieutenant General Anil Baijal asking him to cancel the land allotment made for a Haj House in Sector 22 of the area. The federation gave a laughable argument in support of their claim by saying that there will be ”every possibility” of riots, migration of Hindus from the area and repetition of situations like Shaheen Bagh, Jaffrabad and Kashmir if the structure is allowed to be constructed.
The call for today’s mahapanchayat was given by Hindutva organisations. A poster of the mahapanchayat showed that those who called for the event included an organisation called the Hindu Shakti Sangathan, the Dwarka Federation and residents’ welfare associations of the area.
One of the protesters attending the mahapanchayat said: “Today they [Muslims] will build a Haj House, tomorrow they will construct a madarsa [an Islamic school], then a mazaar [shrine] will come up…150-200 of them will assemble…they will give birth to 70-80 [children], each of them will pelt stones and you [Hindus] will be forced to flee from here.”
