Tension over communal violence continued Monday followed by overnight communal clashes between Hindu and Muslim groups in the old city; and attacks on places of worship have been reported in several areas.
Cases of stone-pelting and attacks on places of worship, houses, shops and vehicles were also reported.
Over 58 people, including 2 journalists, were seriously injured in stone-pelting and police cudgeling. Dozens of vehicles were set afire and many were damaged by the mobs.
Police used cudgels to disperse clashing groups armed with sticks and stones on them.
The violence had broken out on Saturday night in Moosabowli area of Hussaini Alam after a heated argument between 2 groups when members of a community were putting up saffron flags for ‘Hanuman Jayanti – birthday celebration of a Hindu diety’ while removing the green flags of another community put up recently for ‘Milad-un-nabi celebration – festival of Prophet’s birthday’. The argument between these groups resulted in a spread of violence into new areas of the city where majority of the saffron followers were armed with stones, sticks and even petrol bombs taking to the streets.
Girish Kumar – Director General of Police, also visited the troubled areas late Sunday, told media adequate measures have been taken and forces were being deployed to get the situation under control.
Section 144 has been imposed under prohibitory orders, the criminal procedure code banning congregation of 5 or more people in the old city and other communally sensitive areas of the new city as well.
In the areas like Gowliguda, Falaknuma, Shamsheergunj and Chatrinaka of old part of Hyderabad, which have majority of Hindu population and minority of Muslim population; miscreants attacked passersby with knives and other sharp-edged weapons after asking them to identify themselves to be Hindu or Muslim. Muslim Women and children were not spared either in Falaknuma area where Lambada tribe attacked them. Over a dozen worship places were targeted by unruly crowds, who also torched shops, government and private vehicles. Minority living in those areas were reported to vacating their houses.
Majority of Mosques were burnt or damaged; Masjid at Siddiamber Bazaar, Masjid Barq Jung at Petlaburg, Masjid Meelardiyo palli at Aulamgad, Masjid Chilla Nasir Jung Baig at Begum bazar, Masjid Muhammadia at Begum bazar, Masjid Alam khan at Begum Bazar, Masjid Diri Bagh at Begum Bazar, Masjid Rehmania at Miyakul banda, Masjid Noor at Chatrinaka, and a mosque at Rakshapuram were badly damaged.
Hindu extremists jumped into mosques at night through roof and set the prayer rugs to fire, and even demolished a minaret of a mosque at Rakshapuram. At Masjid-e-Rahmania in Miyakul banda, petrol bombs made of bulbs were thrown at Muslim devotees attending prayers.
In Falaknuma area, activists of Hindus organizations like RSS, VHP, Bajrangdal tore-off Burqa (Veil) of Muslim women and injured them; they were also seen openly waving saffron flags and attacking Muslim passersby near Shankershare Hotel in Afzalgunj area. In another incident at Madannapet area; a Muslim lady working for an IT company returning home in her office cab, was attacked from behind throwing a huge stone that broke the rear glass of the car, but she managed to escape.
Legislators of a Muslim political party, Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) and leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) reached the areas. MIM legislator Ahmed Pasha Khadri complained that police remained a passive spectator to the attacks on the houses of the minority community and moreover resorted to unprovoked baton charge on youth of that community. However, BJP leader G. Ramaswamy said to media that why minority community objected the installation of saffron flags while they were allowed to put green flags during their festival. Moreover, during the recent festival of ‘Milad-un-Nabi – celebration of Prophet’s birthday’, youth of minority community were seen taking huge rallies and processions that were never seen in the recent years. This would have provoked competition in the other community to celebrate birthday of Hanuman (a Hindu deity) with pomp-show.
In the latest information collected, an angry mob belonging to Hindu organizations armed with sticks, knives and petrol bombs were to set a mosque on fire at Shalibanda, Hyderabad on Monday afternoon. But police opened fire in air to disperse the mob. Still, the situation is critical in areas like Madannapet, Lal Darwaza, Gowliguda, Uppuguda. Miscreants with their faces covered with saffron masks are mercilessly attacking Muslim passersby in those areas. More than 58 have been seriously injured so far and it’s still soaring; to curb the situation Police officials have imposed Curfew in the Old city from 7:00 pm (IST) on Monday.
Commissioner of Police A.K. Khan has termed the communal clashes “PRE-PLANNED”. 70 people have been arrested so far in connection with the violence.
Police said: Paramilitary Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel and state police forces have been beefed up in Moosa Bowli, Hussaini Alam, Purana Pul, Begum Bazar and surrounding areas to prevent any incident.
Hopes some REPs...

Seems like hindu extremists are trying to do another massacre like they did in Gujrat, may Allah protect the Muslims and destroy these extremists. ameen!
Re: Hindu-Muslim Clashes Continue in Hyderabad: Over 50 Injured, Muslims were Badly B
yes, they want to show their presence and influence in Hyderabad...It is believed that 30000 extremist as*h***e arrived Hyderabad from Gujarat to do another massacre...
This is the time to raise the army and fight, isn't it? Islamirama...?
Re: Hindu-Muslim Clashes Continue in Hyderabad: Over 50 Injured, Muslims were Badly B
I don't know what army you can raise over there but the citizens there should be vigilant and be prepared to defend themselves and their lives, honor and women. we already seen from your post that the police stood by passively and didn't do anything...
Re: Hindu-Muslim Clashes Continue in Hyderabad: Over 50 Injured, Muslims were Badly B
The Indian police are known to be a very corrupt organization, I believe. Heck, I just saw a documentary about child trafficking in India, where police are known for brutal beatings, especially to the lower classes and poor.

Send the Taliban in, the Swords of the Righteous, the Iranians and Arabs whatever it takes to get rid of these monkey worshippers. Hyderabad is a Muslim town!
Anything civilized in India was constructed by the Muslims or the Christians.

I was just joking...I should not be joking on these issues,I know...But if the police finds you preaching and propagating people about Jihad...you're as good as dead...you, your family, your career...everything 'll be ruined and you leave this world without doing anything.

Yes, Indian police is very corrupt. You cant expect anything from them...They act partially towards Muslims. It is also believed that some Police officers in Mumbai are Freemasons.

Yes, MONKEY WORSHIPERS. You know much about Hyderabad.I feel sad when these incidents happen, against Muslims but on counterpart I feel good when I think of those people 'll dwell in Hell forever. And of-course guiding anyone to right path in in the hands of Allah SWT.

Now it was Ram navami[Ram's birthday] last week and then Hanuman Jayanthi[Hanuman's birthday] and people were called from neighboring states to give a response to the milad's celebration. With everything pre-planned, they brought down the green flags and put up their saffron ones, and the trouble started there. Youths called from the neighboring states, trained for this, started their work with support from police.
May Allah swt save the innocent and punish the guilty.
Curfew is still in effect. Hopefully they'll lift it tomorrow if everything goes peacefully here today[at Friday prayers].
Yes, it started on Thursday (23 Mar) after they celebrated 'Mohammad-Mas' (you know...Christ-mas, Mohammad-mas) like never before and as if they had a competition with the Shiites when they celebrated that thing...(what do they call..? I dont remember that right now...)
It was Saturday when I went to college to pay my fees, there I was filling out my form and just came across my address field. Then suddenly the clerk asked me "Do you live in Sayeedabad?" I responded "yes, ma'am." To which she asked me " Do you know about the riots?" (It was a minor one then) I said 'uh-huh, I know." Listening this she was telling me that we let you raise your flags when it was your festival and when its our turn you create problems. I listened to her and said to myself "Oh boy! she needs counseling" and explained to her that it is not is the either of religions to raise flags on whatsoever the occasion may be and more over what some Muslims were doing was Bid'ah, an innovation in the religion.
The people who create problems are the BJP,VHP,kar sevaks...they just need an opportunity to harm Muslims. And after Mohammad-mas they found a golden opportunity to create a problem and they acted like vandals destroying property everywhere. In some places Muslim women were beaten too.

They train themselves to create such problems and are perfect in using weapons like trishul, daggers, swords etc. There are many institutions who train people for this all over India and they act offensive.
When we try to train our Muslim brothers, police creates problem even if it was for defensive one (you know, Akber Bagh eidgagh, its famous, DJS). We need to train ourselves and this is the time to raise our army, know our enemy...

It's not good to say about other religions. We should respect other religions too.
Dont they worship hanuman which is a monkey, ganesh which is an elephant, naag which is a snake, shiva's lingam which is oops!! (Oh boy!!!!).........
I was not acting disrespectfully, it is the truth...
Re: Hindu-Muslim Clashes Continue in Hyderabad: Over 50 Injured, Muslims were Badly B
I guess some Muslims will not celebrate Milad from next year onwards...I believe this is some kind of minor azaab from Allah SWT towards the innovators...what do you people think....? correct me if I am wrong.

Milad : Do you mean muslims celebrating the Prophet's birthday ?
yes it's not really correct to make such celebrations, if the prophet Muhammed (PBUH) were alive now, he will not accept these "celebrations".
But you know, many other islamic countries are doing the same, why will Allah just punish the muslims in India and let the others ?
Besides, the idea of punishment in the dunya (this life) is not really correct. Allah will not punish people in the dunya except in some situations when there is a danger on the human kind or on the human faith in general (Qaum Loot, Qaum Aad, Thamud, the Pharaos, Etc...) But in general, there is no punishment in the dunya. The punishment is in the Hereafter.
This life in dunya is just an exam, and in general you get not punished or evaluated in the middle of an exam, but you are evaluated (and punished or awarded) after the exam is finished. And Allah knows best.

Thats what I'm thinking, they were offering Eid salah on that day which must be totally haraam

Brother there is punishment in this dunya, Allah can give us punishment here as a mercy and to remove our sins, punishment in the next world is much more painful. Don't you think out of mercy Allah would rather punish us here than in Hell? In this case it can be a wake up call as they were creating extreme innovations in our faith

yes I agree with you, there can be in the dunya a little bit of hardship just because Allah (SWT) wanted to remove some of our sins or it can be just an ibtila'a (exam) from Allah to see how strong our faith is. But in general, the dunya is not made for punishment : look at Israel, America, and every unjust country, why won't Allah just destroy them and the world become better.
It can be punishment in dunya, but it would be an exception. And we cannot assume that every hardship we had is a punishment.
