Provocative slogans

VARANASI: Communal tension prevailed in Azamgarh's Azampur area on Saturday when some locals clashed with Muslim clerics returning from Lucknow after the Ulema Council protest. Several persons were injured in brick-batting and police had to use tear gas to disperse the agitated mob. Some persons were detained for questioning. Heavy police force was deployed in the area to check the spread of violence.

According to reports, Muslim clerics and youth, who had returned from Lucknow after holding a public meeting of the Ulema Council, were on their way to Bilariaganj on buses. They were raising provocative slogans and allegedly manhandled some persons of the other community near Siaraha village. The news spread like wild fire and locals blocked the road. They indulged in heavy brick-batting on buses, in which some persons sustained injuries. [link] [emphasis added]

They manhandled some members of the "other community". This "other community" is now a side point, a footnote. This community is news. The other community is a nuisance. 

So, what sort of people were the organizers of this public meeting?

Ulema Council Chairman Maulana Amir Rashadi, whose son Talha Amir was picked up by the police only to be released later, had organised the trip from Azamgarh to Delhi. He met Home Minister P Chidambaram and submitted a memorandum on the issue.

Why do you think Azamgarh is being targeted?

They have been watching the Muslim community. They have been watching where the community has prospered financially and academically. They are targeting such places.

Who are the 'they' you are referring to?

The UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government. They have been acting under pressure from (the Israeli espionage agency) Mossad, which has been acting in coordination with the Sangh Parivar and targeting the Muslim community.

All the terror attacks in the country have been carried out by them. Karkare exposed them and brought out this naked truth. So they killed him.

We salute Karkake. In fact, we are going to approach his wife and request her to contest the Lok Sabha polls from Azamgarh. She is a like an elder sister to the people of Azamgarh. [link]

Of course, they had special trains to ferry them to these meetings.
