Following reports of public boards barring the entry of non-Hindus and Rohingya Muslims allegedly coming up at some places, two Muslim delegations said they met Uttarakhand Director General of Police Abhinav Kumar on Thursday.
Talking to The Indian Express, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) state president Nayyer Kazmi said that they met the DGP and conveyed that the recent incidents in which minorities were allegedly targeted are harming humanity, mutual harmony, and the image of Uttarakhand.
“It is known that the unpleasant incident that happened in Nandghat of Chamoli district due to a mere allegation is shocking and condemnable. The majority local and extremist groups created an atmosphere by giving hate speeches against the local minority Muslims, in the heat of which local people targeted shops, houses and places of worship of the Muslims looted them, and pelted stones,” said Kazmi in a letter to the DGP.
