Targetting #Christian_Missionary institutions by VHP/ Bajrang Dal is not new MP Ganjbasoda attack is latest.

MP reported over 8 such cases in last 2-month which R/W groups either targeted missionary schools, churches or lodged 3 FIRs against Christians across state.

A thread -
In Jhabua, the R/W men have been threatened to demolish a century-old catholic church on Christmas.

R/W men constantly raiding the churches on Sunday to check conversation in tribal dominated districts. "We are feeling threatened as a community," said Maria Stephen, a leader.
Recently, Jhabua district admin refused to renew the license of 7 missionary schools where over 10,000 students are studying.

In Sept 2021 district admin sought Churches & its fathers to submit details of churches and their conversion certificates to ensure legal conversion.
On Dec 5, 2021, an FIR was registered in Ranapur PS of Jhabua district against six tribals of Christian community for allegedly converting fellow tribals. Cops lodged an FIR under section 3 & 5 of the MP Freedom of Religion Act - 2021 and arrested all six accused.
In Satna, on Nov 1, 2021, VHP & Bajrang Dal men barged inside a Church of God during Sunday prayers alleging conversion.

When police refused to register FIR, VHP men blocked NH forcing police to use cane which left 6 Bajrang Dal men injured.
Soon after the incident, police registered two FIRs in Kolgaon PS under section 3 & 5 of MP Freedom of Religion Act against father Biju Thomas, Santosh Thomas & 3 others.

In addition to that, SP Satna took action against four cops for thrashing Bajrang Dal men.
In Daita, on October 10, 2021, Police booked 10 people and arrested eight after Hindu outfit men spotted them outside a missionary school distributing Christian religion books.

Police booked them under section 3 and 5 of the anti Conversation law.
In Satna & Mandla district, right-wing men hold protests demanding installation of goddess Saraswatis idol inside school premises in October.

But they didn't show up after the school admin reported to police.

#BulldozerJustice | #SupremeCourt

Let's put it as simply as it is.

I wonder, whatever the narrative the BJP Govts & its 'outspoken' leaders push in the media & to public, take a U-turn from that in the Court.

Why?

It's a documented fact that BJP enjoys #bulldozer_justice. Two of their leaders earned the title of "Bulldozer Mama" and "Bulldozer Baba" which they love; one is Union Agriculture Minister and the other is the chief minister.

Apart from MP, UP, bulldozer justice has been in play in BJP-ruled Assam, Haryana, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.

On Sept 2, 2024, when the Supreme Court questioned the NDA Govt on #bulldozer_justice, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said, "Only homes violating municipal laws were demolished."

The Solicitor General tried to play with the words in the Court. It's his job. But his words can't hide the brazen targeting of Muslims and are marginalized in the name of #bulldozerjustice.

Since people have short memories, let me remind !

In Dec 2020, after a clash in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh's Home Minister Narottam Mishra said, "Jis Ghar se Patthar Pheke Jaye Ge, us ghar se Patthar Nikale jaye ge." He reiterated it for the next two years.

In April 2022, when bulldozers razed the homes of 50+ Muslims in the aftermath of the #Khargone_Riot, the BJP Govt told the media, "We have bulldozed the homes of stone pelters & rioters."

In Ujjain 2022, when the three-storey building of Ashraf Hussain razed after the rumour of spitting water on Mahakaal Yatra, which turned out FAKE months later, Madhya Pradesh's BJP Media In-charge Ashish Aggarwal said, "Those who insult Lord Shiva will have to be prepared for a Shiv tandav (dance of death) as well."

Thousands of unlawful demolitions took place in Madhya Pradesh since 2019-2020. Selective, biased and unlawful targeting is the core of this #bulldozer_justice.

There are countless examples. Yet, with limited resources, I tried to document a few.

क्यों विवाद में है इंदौर लॉ कॉलेज के मुस्लिम प्रोफ़ेसर?

ABVP से जुड़े 9 छात्रों ने पिछले 2-3 सालों से ना फीस भरी और ना क्लास गए। कुछ महीनों से यूनिवर्सिटी इन पर फ़ीस भरने के लिए दबाव बना रही थी।

ABVP के शिकायतकर्ता दीपेंद्र ठाकुर 4 बार फेल होने के साथ उनकी 30K फ़ीस बकाया है।

4
पिछले हफ़्ते आए रिज़ल्ट में वो चौथी बार फेल हो गया।

कॉलेज प्रशासन का कहना है कि उसने दबाव बनाने के लिए पहले 4 मुस्लिम प्रोफ़ेसर के खिलाफ़ झूठी शिकायत की फिर मार्च 2021 में ख़त्म हो चुके कथित हिंदू संगठन विरोधी क़िताब के विवाद को सामने लाकर प्रिंसीपल इनामुर्रहमान पर हिंदू...

3/
विरोधी होने का इल्ज़ाम लगाय।

साथ ही यूनिवर्सिटी में मुस्लिम प्रोफ़ेसर और छात्रों की संख्या पर सवाल उठाए। जबकि प्रिंसिपल का कहना है 28 में कुल 4 मुस्लिम है।

इस बात से आहत प्रिंसिपल ने त्याग पत्र दे दिया।

प्रिंसिपल का कहना है कि किताब 2014 में खरीदी गई और वो 2019 में यहां आए।

#Breaking #Khargone

How a trust owned by Hindus used an Urdu name "Tanzeem-E-Zarkhez" allegedly to spread Islamophobia & pooled over 200 acres of land on throwaway price.

Later, it was renamed as Prof PC Mahajan Foundation.

Now, a BJP leader is chairman of the trust.

Thread - ImageImage
A group of 11+ Hindu formed a charitable trust with an Urdu name #Tanzeem-E-Zarkhez in 2002 & appointed Zakir Shaikh as its manager.

Zakir, who sported a long beard was allegedly used to spread a propaganda that a Muslim trust is buying lands to open butcher house & graveyard.
+ ImageImageImage
Many Hindu / Muslim farmers fell into the trap & sold their lands on throwaway price to Tanzeem-E-Zarkhez & Prakash Smirti Sewa Sansthan, another trust owned by the same group.

PSSS was formed in 1996. It made over 20K members through a lucrative chit fund business model.

MP: On allegations of pelting stones at #Garba event, Mandsaur Police booked 19, arrested 7 & #razed homes of Zafar, Raies & Salman within 2-day of incident.

Admin said, their homes were illegal.

Alleged stone pelting occurred on Sunday night in Surjani village of Sitamau PS.
+
Mandsaur SP Anurag Sujania said 19 people were booked under section 307 & 147 of the IPC & 7 arrested.

The illegal homes were identified and razed by the Revenue Department which is worth over 4 Cr.

@mandsaur_sp @DGP_MP
Within 48 hrs, Mandsaur Admin razed 3 homes.

But it kept a blind eye in RAPE case of 14-YO Muslim girl in which Sagar Suryavanshi was accused.

No bulldozer justice for 14-YO.

Seeing no action, locals demanded strict action but in vain. Incident occurred in Suwasara last month. Image
