North 24 Parganas: Violent riots erupted in Deganga area in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal earlier this month when the local Muslim community objected to the construction of a Puja Pandal encroaching 40 feet land inside the Muslim burial ground.
The Muslim community had recently won in the court case with regards to the possession of the burial ground.
It happened on September 7 when local Muslims protested the encroachment by the Puja Pandal inside the cemetery. The local police under Deganga Police Station came and lathi-charged the local Muslim population and even arrested many. The miscreants from the other community taking advantage of the Police bias towards the Muslim community, went about looting shops belonging to the Muslim community and even beat up some Muslims.
Shahanshah Jehangir talking to local muslim villagers
One person from the minority community was reportedly shot dead by a miscreant from the other community and all this took place in active support from the Police.
The news spread after which local Muslims from all neighbouring villages came out on the streets and but were forced to resort to self defence.

Next day on September 8, Police entered Muslim populated villages early morning and mercilessly lathi-charged injuring many villagers and even arrested many.
Mr. Shahanshah Jehangir, President of the Indian Union Muslim League West Bengal state, reached the spot along with local district leaders of his party and pacified the local Muslim population and spoke to the local people. Mr. Jehangir condemned the destruction of Muslim property and killing of an innocent Muslim and appealed for calm and restoration of peace as well as demanded the District Magistrate and S.P. of North 24 Parganas to take immediate steps to protect the lives and property of the local Muslim population.
He also demanded immediate suspension and removal of the Deganga Police Station Officer in-charge who was responsible for acting with anti-Muslim bias and letting the situation go out of control. He also demanded release of all the innocent Muslim villagers arrested.

He further demanded that the Government provide a compensation package for those injured and killed in the riot as well as the shops of the Muslims must be reconstructed.
ââ¬ÅThe CPI(M)-led Left Front Government and in particular the Police Minister of West Bengal who also happens to be the CM of the State has totally failed to protect the lives and property of the Muslim community in West Bengal as well as protect their religious places of worshipââ¬Â, said Jehangir and warned of an all Bengal movement against Police atrocities if the above demands were not met.
Tension got flared up soon after Eid day when Hindu Sanhati, an organization affiliated to Sangh Parivar, allegedly started distributing leaflets and posters were put up spreading lies and hatred against the Muslim community.
Mosque attacked by Hindu mobs
The Police whose role should have been unbiased, instead harassed and raided Muslim villages and even arrested youths slapping false cases against them. The Muslim villagers are living under a constant fear and terror as the Police openly side with the Hindu mobs and threaten the Muslims with dire consequences if they resist Hindu mobs or even protest .
On September 18, a meeting was held by the Hindu Sanhati in Barasat town (ironically the government gave them permission to hold meeting in Kachari Maidan which is under Govt). In the meeting allegedly hate speeches against the Muslim community were given and soon after the meeting Muslim shops and mosque in the area were attacked and stones were pelted at them by Hindu mobs.
State President of IUML Mr.Shahanshah Jehangir has been constantly visiting the disturbed areas and appealing for peace. The IUML West Bengal demanded strict action against the extremist Hindu organizations and their supporters. Mr.Shahanshah Jehangir has spoken to the District S.P. Of North 24 Parganas and even the District Magistrate and has demanded adequate protection of lives and property of the Muslim community, especially since the Babari Mosque verdict is going to be delivered on 24th September, 2010.
Muslim owned factories destroyed
Mr Jehangir has even declared that he will march with 1 lakh people from Kolkata to Barasat and Deganga on coming Friday if the attacks on Muslim lives and property continued.
