Bihar town resists Gujarat lunacy |
2002-03-02 |
A senior police official, who was present on the spot when the incident occurred, said that when the word spread about the bid by the hooligans to enter the mosque, almost 100 Hindus converged on the spot from the nearby Goriamath and Sariyaganj area and challenged them. A tussle broke out in which quite few Hindus were injured while guarding the mosque, but the hooligans had to beat a hasty retreat in face of stiff resistance, he said. By the time police reinforcement came in, the hooligans had done the vanishing act. Muzzafarpur has the distinction of never having witnessed a communal riot. Gee, what boring place to live. No riots, just some fist-fighting without a single person burned alive. Shucks, they probably don't have a decent turban in the whole town. |
