Ashoknagar (Madhya Pradesh): The after effects of Nuh violence can be felt in a village in Ashoknagar district of Madhya Pradesh where the Sarpanch has barred the entry of minorities (Muslims and Christians) into the village. Posters regarding the decision were also put up in the village.
Though the posters were removed by district officials on Tuesday, the Sarpanch still claimed that they would continue to seek AADHAR cards of the traders entering the village.
Sarpanch says, ‘Took the decision for safety of women’
The case pertains to Gram Panchayat Dhaturia, located 9 km from Ashoknagar district headquarters. Sarpanch Bablu Yadav had called a meeting here on Sunday. Here, referring to the incident of violence in Nuh-Mewat in Haryana, he proposed that people who sell junk, quilts, blankets, cots including hawkers keep coming to the village from other states. These people steal, rob and take away our women.
