Bareilly Violence



Just imagine, you are living in a city which is famous for its sweets (barfi) to its jewellery (jhumka). These things are so famous that they are generally mentioned in Bollywood movies and songs. Here I am talking about one of the most famous districts of Uttar Pradesh known as Bareilly. This city is famous for its rich culture and Ganga Jamuni tehjeeb. This is the city where Ahemad Raza Khan has started his famous Barelvi movement. But in India, it is generally said that “time never remains the same for anyone”. This saying once again became TRUE when Tauqueer  Ahemad Raza Khan, one of the most controversial clerics of Sunni Islam,  called a huge protest in Islamia Ground of Bareilly.  But the permission for the protest was not given by the Local police administration.  They had strictly said that the permission cannot be given. But Tauqueer Raza with his followers reached Islamia Ground with posters named “ I love Muhammad”.

But Article 163 of the BNSS Act prohibits protests without permission. The Police tried to stop the protesters but the protest became violent. About 4 to 6 people died in that protest and many policemen faced injury. After this, the administration tightened the security and imposed a curfew in that region of Bareilly. Tauqueer Raja was detained for two days and about 40 of his supporters got arrested. After two days, taking the permission of the district court, Tauqueer Raza and his followers were detained for 14 days.

According to several reports, this event was a response to the Kanpur violence of September 4 which happened because police removed the posters and tents of the same tag line. Many of them were also detained in Kanpur.

In these incidences , the opposition claimed that the Government of Uttar Pradesh is suppressing the rights of minorities by targeting their way of worshipping, while the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh shri yogi Aditya Nath said that rioters will get very harsh punishment such that they will forget to do any type of violence in their whole life.

If we talk about the current situation,  the administration has controlled the situation very smoothly and they are saying that no violence will happen next time.
