Communal riots between Muslims and Hindus has erupted in Saharanpur in western Uttar Pradesh over a land dispute. Sikhs have a Gurudwara and they have purchased an adjacent land 15 years back. According to Muslims, the same land belongs to Waqf board. Construction activity on the site has resulted in a clash between two communities in July last week.
The image published through media channels show rioting Muslims.
The questions now are
- Is it so difficult to identify the owner of a piece of land without any ambiguity?
- Is it so difficult to give the land to their rightful owners?
- Why the administration in every city is playing hide and seek when it comes to allotment of lands to temples and mosques?
- Why a mosque is illegally built in many situations? Why such illegal mosques are legalized?
- Why should not rioting groups be separated in different localities?
