Dehradun ,March 22: 86 Muslim traders out of 91 have been asked to leave the town by the local traders’ association dominated by the Hindutva BJP and RSS in Dharchula, city of Uttarakhand state in India. The situation escalated when the local traders’ association not only asked the Muslim traders to leave but also cancelled the registration of their shops.
After targeting the Muslim, the association blamed them of being “outsiders” and dubbed them engaging in “suspicious activities,” further adding fuel to the already tense situation.
The trigger for this drastic action was the arrest of a Muslim barber who was claimed to be one of abducting two minor Hindu girls and transporting them to Uttar Pradesh state in India.
The incident shocked the local community and led to widespread outrage.
Members of the Muslim community in Dharchula have expressed deep concern and dismay over the situation.
They refute the accusations of being “outsiders” and assert that they have been contributing to the local economy for years without any issues. The cancellation of their shop registrations has put their livelihoods at risk, leading to economic uncertainty and hardship.
