Hotel Blue Ivy which has a banquet hotel, restaurants, hotel rooms, coffee shops does not serve any non-vegetarian food. Not even omelettes or any egg preparation.
“So what”, another woman screams. This hotel is owned by Muslims. It is a sin for us to see them also.
The Hotel owners: One Gujarati Patel and two Gujarati Muslims all dress alike. They have no beard or skull caps. So how do they know that these are Muslims. “We can feel it. This entire area was very good. The vibes are different since this Muslim-owned hotel has come up”
Cardiologist Shailesh Shah:
"I’m not against Muslim community but Muslim owners building a banquet, hotel and restaurant in an area with three Hindu temples — Siddhivinayak, Ambaa maa and Saibaba — is wrong on all grounds."
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Bas karo bhai
"...educated, self-employed, working-class professionals and housewives gathered outside Blue Ivy Hotel in Anand, Gujarat and sang Ram dhun, sprinkled ganga jal and shouted slogans demanding the ‘removal’ of the hotel from the area."
The owners of Blue Ivy Hospitality Private Limited were subjected to slogans such as “desh ke Gaddaron ko… joote maro salo ko"
Ïs desh me agar rehna hai, Jai Shree Ram bolna padega to Anand mein agar rehna hai, Jai Shree Ram hi bolna padega.
"The hotel was originally owned by Anand-based builder Krishna Patel, but he made the ‘cardinal mistake’ of bringing in two Muslim men as his partners – Hasanali Sunsara and Mustakali Sulemanbhai Sunsara."
Proud Hindu Ramesh Patel:
“There is a prominent Sai Baba temple that I visit every day. I hate to see this Muslim-owned hotel’s board on my way to the temple.”
When pointed out that Sai Baba himself was a Muslim, he brushed it aside as a ‘complete lie’.
"...Krishnabhai made the land deal and got these Muslims. He has such a beautiful name: Krishna but why has he lost his head and got these two pro Pakistani Muslims as partners."
When asked whether he knew that these Muslims partners were pro-Pakistanis, he casually but confidently said, “all Muslims are”.
Social entrepreneur and activist Bhavna Ramrakhiani:
"Today, there is this constant sense of fear where even if a Hindu wants to stand up for a Muslim, he can’t.
Such incidents are illogical but they take place with the sanction of the State, warna itni himmat kise hoti?”
Before I forget, his powerful and painful story was written by talented @JanviSonaiya. Please follow her.
Religious fault lines in Tripura have been getting sharper due to political dynamics that have been developing in the state since the BJP took office in 2018.
A new element has been introduced into the equation by the attempts of the Trinamool Congress from neighbouring West Bengal to expand its footprint into Tripura.

Tripura’s Muslims, who form 9% of the population, are overwhelmingly Bengali speakers. They have not been in the limelight before because the conflict lines in the state have so far been between the Bengali Hindus and the indigenous tribal people.

Local Tripura SDPO is now officially saying a VHP protest rally of around 3,500 people was organised in Panisagar. “A section of VHP activists at the rally ransacked a mosque in the Chamtilla area.
"Later, three houses and three shops were ransacked and two shops set on fire in the Rowa Bazar area, around 800 yards away from the first incident,” the official said."
Houses and shops belonged to the minorities community
Heavy security has been deployed.
The Bajrang Dal leader from Panisagar is claiming they were just protesting and is saying local muslim youths standing in front of a mosque instigated the violence "hurling abuses at us. They were armed with dao and other weapons. They chanted Pak Zindabad and religious slogans."
A 36-year-old pregnant woman, who was bleeding and in severe pain, travelled from one health centre to another, before breathing her last at her third destination, about 150 km away from her home
"At least 5-6 pregnant tribal women have died due to complications related to pregnancy in the past one month. Also, there are many unreported cases,” said Vivek Pandit, the chairperson of Tribal Development Review Committee of Maharashtra government."
What a Shame!
Jawhar’s sub-district hospital has multiple vacancies. “And those who were hired do not report to work. They run their own clinics and hospitals which poor tribals cannot afford,”
Amazing so the hired doctors who probably get paid don't even attend the area they are assigned to
