The Madhya Pradesh Police have booked members of Hindu Jagran Manch (HJM) for staging a protest in Indore without permission, a political candidate said on Wednesday.
Indore (East) police superintendent Ashustoh Bagri said the unauthorised protest was held within the city’s Regal Square without permission. The case against HJM members has been filed under the Indian Penal Code’s Section 188 that relates to disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a employee.
HJM leader Dheeraj Yadav insisted they held a peaceful protest against the increase in crime and communal tensions within the city. He added they handed over a memorandum to Indore deputy military officer Manish Kapuria to get rid of Tejaji Nagar station house to blame for registering a case against 15 people of the Hindu organisation who opposed the shouting of “anti-national slogans” on Assumption of Mary.
Rajesh Chauhan, another leader of the Hindu organisation, said groups just like the alinement of India (PFI) were trying to disturb peace and harmony over the beating of a bangle seller in Indore. “These organisations should be banned.”
PFI leaders accused Hindu groups of making terror among Muslims by staging protests. “In bangle’ seller case, police made the person who was assaulted accused after 24 hours for sexually harassing a woman, who is that the daughter of 1 of the most accused within the assault,” said Kafeel Raza, state president PFI. He accused the govt of being biased against Muslims. “Now to shift the blame, they’re blaming PFI.”
State home minister Narottam Mishra said the govt is making a listing of incidents within which PFI allegedly tried to make a nuisance. “The bangle seller’s isn’t the sole incident during which PFI leaders tried to relinquish it a communal colour. the house department is making the list before sending a proposal to Union home ministry to ban this organisation.”
