Ever since extremist BJP has grabbed
power in New Delhi in the wake of renewed fundamentalist Hindutva agenda,
Indian security forces have become law unto themselves and are on a killing
spree throughout India, Muslims being their favourite targets.
According to details Indian security
forces arrested Muhammad Bilal and subsequently killed him in Birpur Bazar
area in District Spool, of Bihar state.
The individual was former headman
of village Narhi and considered to be an active person of the Muslim community
who normally protested against Muslim-bashing policies of the Indian police.
His killing led to large protest
by the locals who were lathi charged and manhandled by the police.
As pre-emptive measures to forestall
large scale protest against the police, the Indian spin doctors orchestrated
their favourite theme to hush up the episode and labeled him as a Pakistani
agent.
However, the locals refuted these
allegations and condemned the ruthless killings and termed it a blatant
effort to downplay his mission of safeguarding the rights of Muslims Community
in the area.
Meanwhile, on the instructions of
extremist Hindu zealots calling the shots in New Delhi under the direction
of Advani, the Indian police on Sunday killed five Muslim youth in a shoot-out
in the southern city of Bangalore.
According to details the Karnataka
police, acting with the help of 25 police commandos from the neighbouring
state Tamil Nadu, raided a house in a sleepy middle class residential colony
and killed them on the pretext that they were "militants" and were involved
in some bomb attack on RSS office.
Meanwhile, the Muslim organizations
of India have out rightly rejected the allegations of the police and termed
it a blatant lie to hide the facts.
They have threatened New Delhi of
repercussion if the anti-Muslim policies are not changed.
