As per the local residents, after the government’s diktat, Hindus and Muslims both have decided to remove the loudspeakers from their religious places, but the Hindu Yoddha Parivar activists installed new loudspeakers.
Though the chief of the organisation has been arrested by the police, residents of the area claimed that the atmosphere is tense.
Speaking to NH, a journalist from Western Uttar Pradesh said that Hindu organisations got emboldened after the second victory of Yogi Adityanath.
“Hatred for Muslims is on the rise…they may not necessarily want riots but they want to show Muslims their place in the society,” said the journalist.
UP watchers believe that Hindutva organisations are deliberately provoking Muslims ahead of Eid which falls on May 3 in order to keep the communal pot boiling. Notably in all the cases, either police have taken no action against the perpetrators or have taken mild action.
