Tension gripped Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich district Monday as hundreds of Sikhs carried out protests over desecration of their holy scripture.Hindu extremists burnt pages of the holy scripture outside a Sikh shrine Sunday night. The desecration was noticed by community members Monday morning.
“Taking into account the protests, additional security has been deployed in Fakarpur and its adjoining areas,” Police Inspector Brijendra Singh told reporters in Bahraich.“The situation is tense but under control. We have already arrested three Hindu extremists, who have been charged with burning the holy book. Efforts are on to nab others, who were involved,” he added.
its is strange that when Hindu extremists take their violent protest regarding sensitivity to their faith they never challenged by the same police,even when they are targeting minorities.
