DEHRADUN: A traders’ body that had issued a resolution asking 15 Muslim families to leave Khansar town in Chamoli by Dec 31 backtracked on its stance on Monday soon after All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi condemned the move, citing a TOI report, and sought answers from the Uttarakhand govt.
Around 15 Muslim families are living in Maithan’s market area, some of whom have been there for over 30 years.
These families, many of whom work as muleteers, masons, and daily wage labourers, had reportedly not faced any issues until recently.
