A painful and shocking incident in Bujurga village of Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh has put the sensitivity of the society and the safety of religious places. The killing of a blind and weak monk is not only like a person, but a murder of our collective consciousness.
52 -year -old blind monk brutally murdered
The deceased has been identified as Ramnagina Yadav, who was visually impaired from birth and used to stay in the village temple for years. His life was very simple – he used to live by demanding alms and overseeing the temple. The people of the village considered him a calm, religious instinct.
Sadhu strangled to death in the dark of night
This dreadful incident took place on Monday night, while sleeping outside a flour mill in Ramnagina village. At the same time, unknown assailants came quietly and cut their throat and escaped. On Tuesday morning, when the villagers saw a blood-soaked body, there was chaos in the entire village.
Ground dispute or religious intolerance?
Local people say that Ramnagina was having a dispute with her real brother over ancestral land. The police is also prima facie considering it to be the result of the ground dispute. But the question arises whether it is only a matter of land to kill a blind monk who was almost isolated from social life? Or is there any other deep plot hidden in it?
Question on safety of religious places
Temples are considered a symbol of peace, faith and spirituality. But when a monk, he is also blind, not safe there, it raises serious questions on the security system of religious places and the sensitivity of the administration.
An atmosphere of panic and anger in the village
There is an atmosphere of panic in the village after the incident. There is anger among the villagers and they are demanding the arrest of the killers as soon as possible. The police have registered a case against unknown people and started investigation. CO City Shekhar Sengar said that the action will be carried forward based on the postmortem report.
What does this incident say?
Ignoring the safety of disabled and old people is still a serious problem in villages.
The resolution of ground disputes by the administration does not have timely resolved, gives rise to such crimes.
The safety of religious places should now be strong not only in terms of communal violence, but also against personal enmity.
Call of justice
Ramnagina Yadav is no longer in this world, but her brutal murder has left many questions. Has our society become so insensitive that now even the monks are not safe in temples? Is there no value for the lives of the disabled?
The government and administration should take quick and strict action on such incidents, so that the dignity and humanity of religious places can be protected.
