The ongoing controversy over the illegal construction of a mosque in Sanjauli, the largest suburb of Shimla in Himachal Pradesh, is not stopping. All Himachal Muslim Organization has announced to challenge the decision given by the Municipal Corporation Court regarding the mosque case in the higher court. On the other hand, Hindu organization Devbhoomi Sangharsh Samiti has started economic boycott of a particular community (Muslims) coming from outside states doing business in Sanjauli market. Devbhoomi Sangharsh Samiti put up boards with the names Sanatan Sabzi and Dukaan Wala in Hindu establishments in Sanjauli city.
The purpose of installing the board of Sanatan Sabjiwala
Devbhoomi Sangharsh Samiti says that the purpose of setting up ‘Sanatan Sabjiwala’ is that the local people should buy from Hindu shopkeepers and boycott outsiders. State convenor of Devbhoomi Sangharsh Samiti, Vijay Sharma said that in Himachal Pradesh’s capital Shimla, a large number of people from outside a particular community are coming here to do business without registration and are spoiling the peaceful atmosphere here. We have to boycott them. For this, Devbhoomi Sangharsh Samiti has taken the initiative to promote local shopkeepers.
Police tightened security arrangements
Meanwhile, the police have tightened security after Devbhoomi Sangharsh Samiti put up Sanatan boards in shops. Police personnel deployed in Sanjauli market are keeping an eye on every activity, so that the atmosphere does not deteriorate. On September 11, people of Hindu community had staged a violent protest under the banner of Devbhoomi Sangharsh Samiti regarding the mosque issue in Sanjauli. During this time, the protesters broke the barricades put up by the police and entered near the mosque site. The police had to resort to lathicharge to disperse the protesters.
