Radical Muslims take over Bhriguram Halder’s land in Raidighi, South 24 Paraganas:
What Bhriguram Halder never
dreamt even has turned into a reality. He lives in the village of Bhadrapara
within the jurisdiction of Raidighi police station and also the Panchayat of
Radhakantapur in the district of 24 Paraganas (South). It has been learnt, he is no new entrant there
and his family has been living there for decades. Let’s get into the real story
then. Bhriguram Halder also owns a land of 2 bigha including his own residence
and he had sold 5 cottahs of it (adjacent to the metal road in the village) to
a person a few months back. He had also been paid a certain amount of money as
advance. But the lot changed abruptly on March 3 at 10.30 pm when a group of Muslim
troublemakers occupied the sold land forcefully and built up a fence on it.
Once Bhriguram heard this ominous development he rushed to the spot and
literally pleaded to the criminals to pardon him. But it was of no avail. The fence
was not taken away. Troublemakers left the spot only after threatening him of
dire consequences and they even told him that any effort to retrieve the land
would be fatal for him. He was also
cautioned of any approach to contact the local police station.
For the next two days, Bhriguram
Halder ran from pillar to post seeking justice but all including political
parties refused to help him. Local political parties including both Trinamool
Congress and CPIM asked him to stop thinking about this incident. Having no
option, Bhriguram asked Hindu youths in the areas helplessly. Local youths of
Hindu Samhati were also informed and to put an end to such a grave injustice, they
rooted the fence out on March 5 at 11 am and asked Bhriguram to live in his own
territory fearlessly. But this ecstasy was short-lived as Islamists attacked
them with lethal weapons within a few minutes and bombs were hurled at them. The
attack was nothing save for a rude shock for local Hindus as none had the idea
that felons would dare to violate law and order also. Bhriguram Halder decided
to contact the local police station at the cost of his life even.
To keep escalating violence and
also the tension in check, police officials summoned a meeting at the police
station on March 5, 2014 in the night where Bhriguram Halder was asked harshly
to surrender the land worth 4 cottahs to the gang of Muslim troublemakers. The diktat
proved enough to blow Bhriguram out of the water. And as per local police
officials, all were done to preserve tranquility in the environs! Bhriguram has
no other option except to abide by the police’s command. Today on March 6 in
the morning, Bhriguram’s wife went to the field to nurture the land but was not
allowed to go on with the job. It has come to knowledge, local agents of
above-mentioned Muslim perpetrators warned her not to enter the land till her
husband surrenders it.
Bhriguram
Halder is ill fated now and doesn’t know what to do. He wants to have a simple
answer from all. Is he a criminal for being a Hindu in Bengal?
