Hyderabad: Violence broke out in the old city of Hyderabad Friday during protest demonstration by Muslims against the caricatures of Prophet Mohammed published in European newspapers.
At least five people were injured in stone throwing, six shops were damaged and one vehicle was set afire near the historic Charminar.
Incidents of stone throwing were also reported from few other places in the Muslim-majority area. Police, however, said the situation was fully under control.
Trouble broke out when Muslim youth coming out of Makkah Masjid after Friday prayers took out a rally without police permission. Holding green flags and shouting slogans of "Allah-o-Akbar" (God is great) and "Death to Denmark", hundreds of youth marched towards Charminar.
Policemen, including personnel of paramilitary Rapid Action Force (RAF), were deployed at the Charminar monument and allowed agitators to continue their protest.
When they reached Gulzar Houz, a busy commercial area, some of the protesters allegedly threw stones and <b>attacked shops belonging to the Hindus. </b>One car was damaged and a two-wheeler was set ablaze.
Police then swung into action caning the protestors. Four demonstrators were injured. Though the mob dispersed in the lanes, the residents in the area protested against what they called failure of the police to prevent violence.
Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), the powerful Muslim political party, had announced plans to hold a protest meeting in Makkah Masjid after the Friday prayers. The MIM leaders said they had not given a call for taking out a rally but some youth came out on the streets immediately after prayers.
MIM leader and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi and others addressed the protest meeting, warning that <b>Muslims would not tolerate "blasphemous acts like drawing of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed".</b> What did they do about MF Hussain ? and secondly, if moslems cannot tolerate blasphemous drawings, why break Hindu property in India? What action will be taken against them by YSR?
Earlier, the national flag of Denmark was laid on the road from Charminar to Makkah Masjid and people coming for prayers trampled on it to lodge their protest. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
