A real life story in the context of this "Go To Pakistan" story. Thread:-

During partition riots whole country was burning and violence had started to spread to U.P. Muslim League President of a District in U.P. was giving incendiary speeches and planning to trigger riots C/-
Collector of this District happened to be an aristocratic Thakur officer. He called this Muslim League President to his official bungalow for a meeting. Neta ji happily reached Collector's place thinking he will ask for his cooperation in maintaining peace. C/-
But during the meeting Collector asked Netaji to immediately stop all separatist activities in the District. Neta ji refused. So, Collector Sahab got meeting room locked, took out his rule and beaten up Muslim League President Sahab. Neta ji was terrified beyond his wits. C/-
After giving ML President a good beating, Collector asked him to get out and immediately wind up District unit of Muslim League. Neta ji immediately did exactly that and packed his bags to leave for Pakistan. No riot happened in this District during whole Partition affair. C/-
But real story starts from here. Local Gandhian and Nehruvian Hindus would not allow Muslim League Neta ji to leave for Pakistan. They rushed to Railway Station and stopped him from boarding train. He was given guarantee of security and was made to reside in India only. C/-
After few years he started an Islamist pressure group and became star among local muslims. His son won the local body elections and incited a bomb attack on Karsevaks during RJB movement. Many ladies were abducted from the procession whom Paramilitary rescued after a week. C/-
A riot followed which is considered one of the most horrible one after independence. Official death toll was 55. Muslim League Neta ji's son was arrested for engineering this riot but as a very secular government was ruling U.P,. he went scot free. C/-
Now 72 years after his Muslim League ideologue father was stopped by secular hindus from going to Pakistan and 30 years after a secular government saved him from punishment for masterminding a riot, this man is a prized prime accused in engineering anti-CAA riots. End.
