The reality about Purola Love Jihad case: OpIndia floor report

The Uttarkashi area of Uttarakhand is presently the subject of dialog all through all media shops and social media. This occurred after an alleged love jihad case was reported from the hilly city of Purola in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district. Uved Khan, who was accused of trapping a minor Hindu lady after which trying to abduct her, was taken into custody on Friday (26 May 2023) from Purola.

While the native Hindus agitated as a number of comparable circumstances of affection jihad continued to emerge in Uttarakhand, Islamists and Leftists but once more made an try to whitewash the love jihad circumstances and as a substitute painted the Muslims as victims. 

Many media shops like Times of India, Zee News, News 18, and so on furthered the ‘Dara Hua Musalman‘ narrative by claiming that Muslim merchants are being compelled to vacate their outlets and go away Purola following protests and demonstrations and ultimatums by right-wing Hindu organisations. They additional reported how threatening posters have been pasted on outlets owned by Muslim merchants in Purola city of Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, asking them to vacate the place instantly.

The Purola police had, nonetheless, denied a number of media reviews claiming that members of the minority communities have left town. “Nobody has left the town as it is not that easy to just leave businesses and homes behind in one night. The situation is completely under control. The accused, who were arrested, were produced before the local court which later sent them to jail,” V Murugesan, extra director common of police (legislation & order) was quoted as saying.

When OpIndia inquired about this concern with sure people linked to Hindu organisations in Uttarkashi, the scenario turned out to be opposite to what had been reported. Hindu organisations alluded to the Hindus of Uttarakhand as being the victims of the fast demographic modifications and land, enterprise and love jihad taking place within the state, somewhat than the Muslim migrants whom the leftist media and the ‘liberal’ coterie are busy projecting as victims.

The OpIndia crew additionally examined the so-called ‘threat’ posters that these leftist media shops have extensively reported about. According to varied media reviews, posters asking Muslim shopkeepers to depart or “prepare for consequences” have been discovered pasted on outlets of Muslim merchants. They got a deadline of June 15 to flee or “face action”. The posters talked about the title of an organisation- Devbhoomi Raksha Abhiyan which warned ‘Love Jehadis’ to vacate their outlets by June 15. It additionally learn {that a} ‘Mahapanchayat’ on the problem has been referred to as by Hindu outfits on the identical date.

When OpIndia spoke to the locals, we realized that opposite to the narrative that was being peddled, the native Hindus in Devbhoomi have been those who have been really terrified. The Uttarakhand police additionally denied that Muslims in Uttarkashi city have been underneath any form of menace. Swami Darshan Bharti, the founding father of the Devbhoomi Raksha Abhiyan Sangathan, spoke with OpIndia. He confirmed that he was in Purola on the day of the incident, however neither he nor anyone else he is aware of of had put up these posters. Swami Darshan Bharti termed the posters as a conspiracy by some people who wish to undertaking themselves because the victims.

It can also be true that the Purola area has seen a number of circumstances of Love Jihad and onslaught by Islamist radicals. There have been a number of circumstances, like that of a Hindu pupil being killed, a pregnant cow being murdered and her unborn calf being thrown away, a minor Hindu lady being held hostage for five days and extra. Our full floor report on Purola will be learn right here.

Despite mounting proof that the Islamists have been working a rampage in Purola, the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind craftily turned the Muslim group into the sufferer. After the onslaught by Islamists, the Hindus of Purola merely determined to face up for themselves within the face of victimisation. As evidenced, the posters weren’t put up by Hindus, nonetheless, they did resolve to carry a maha panchayat to debate their plight and the best way ahead. It is attention-grabbing that Islamists imagine that their religiously motivated crimes don’t create communal disharmony, nonetheless, the second Hindus resolve to take a stand for themselves, they turn out to be the victims and declare that the Hindu group merely voicing their plight would break communal concord and brotherhood.
