“We built a small mosque in our village area in 2013 since there were no mosques at that time. Hindu society has objected since then and tried to create disruption. Every day we are threatened and asked to leave the village. When Muslims from other villages come to offer Namaz once a week, i.e., Friday, the Hindu community obstruct them and create chaos,” Shakeel, a local Muslim resident said to media.
“A few days ago when it rained, we got the roof repaired at the mosque to which hundreds of Hindus came and started asking why you were getting repairs done. They also threatened us with their lives. Panchayat took place and we compromised and agreed to their terms because we didn’t want to dispute and resolve the issue once and for all. Last evening, just four people were offering Isha prayers, when Hindutva goons attacked them while they were offering Namaz,” Shakeel said.
Shakeel also said to media that the Muslim women also targeted by Hindutva group.
