Internet shut in Haryana’s Nuh, big gatherings banned after Congress MLA arrest

The Haryana government on Friday ordered suspension of mobile Internet and bulk SMS services in Nuh after police arrested Congress MLA Mamman Khan in connection with the communal violence that took place in Nuh on July 31.

Haryana Police arrested Congress MLA Mamman khan.

Hours after Congress MLA Mamman Khan was arrested in connection with the communal clashes in Nuh on July 31, the Haryana government on Friday ordered the suspension of the mobile Internet and the bulk SMS services in the district for two days.

Section 144 has been imposed in Nuh until further orders and people have been asked to offer Friday prayers at home “to prevent any disturbance of peace and public order”.

The order issued by Home Department Additional Chief Secretary T V S N Prasad said, “This order is issued to prevent any disturbance of peace and public order in the jurisdiction of district Nuh in the state of Haryana and shall be in force with effect from September 15 (10.00 am) to September 16 (11.59 pm).”

“It has been brought to my notice by Deputy Commissioner, Nuh, vide his request dated September 14 that there is an apprehension of causing tension, annoyance, agitation, damage of public and private property and disturbance of public peace and tranquillity in the district,” Prasad said.

Haryana Congress MLA Mamman Khan, who was named as an accused in the communal violence that erupted in Nuh in August, was arrested on Thursday.

According to Haryana Police, there was “ample evidence” of his involvement in the violence that occurred following a Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) yatra.

The MLA from Ferozepur Jhirka had approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday, seeking protection from arrest, and the hearing was scheduled for October 19.

Mamman claimed he was being falsely implicated in the case, as he was not even present in Nuh on the day the violence broke out.

However, Haryana Police informed the court that the Congress leader was named as an accused after a “proper evaluation of the evidence”. They also asserted that the police possessed phone call records and other evidence to support their case.

Mamman will be produced before the court on Friday.

Bulldozers raze 150 shanties, 5 houses in Nuh in 24 hours over ‘riot links’

Around 150 migrant families saw their shanties razed on Thursday as the government sent bulldozers to a slum cluster in Tauru, with officials claiming some of its residents were found to be involved in rioting in the communal clashes of July 31.

Bulldozers also tore down five houses near a temple in Nalhar on Friday afternoon, located in the area that was the epicentre of the July 31 clash during a religious procession.

Police claimed 14 youngsters from this settlement were involved in stone-pelting.

At a press conference in Chandigarh during the day, PTI quoted state home minister Anil Vij as saying no one involved in the clashes would be spared, while also remarking, “Ilaj mein bulldozer bhi ek karavayi hai (bulldozer is part of the treatment).”

When the bulldozers arrived at the slum cluster, encroachment of land that belongs to the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) was cited as the reason for the demolition drive.

The families in the Tauru slum said the demolitions began around 3pm on Thursday. Some of them said they had been staying there for as long as 10 years without being served any notice. Some of them showed their Aadhaar and PAN cards as proof of their nationality – many in the slum cluster have come from West Bengal and Assam – after some branded them as Bangladeshis illegally living in India and a section of the media also reported the same.

“We are being tortured just because we are from the minority community. Why would we be involved in pelting stones or spreading hate through videos? We are just ragpickers,” said Gulzar Alam.
He rummaged through a heap of items lying next to him to fish out his Aadhaar and PAN cards, saying he was from Assam. “I have been living here with my family for four years,” Alam said. Another resident Hasan Ali said: “We are left with nothing – no food and no roof to sleep under in the rainy season.”

Nooral Khan, who also lives there, added, “Families from here go to Assam or West Bengal to cast votes. But the recent conditions in Nuh are scary. We feel that we can be targeted anytime.”

Nuh SP Narendra Singh Bijarniya, addressing a press conference with deputy commissioner Prashant Panwar on Friday, said some youngsters from the Tauru settlement were arrested for being involved in rioting. “First, the entire area was encroached on and miscreants came from that side. We have proper inputs from CCTV footage, and our sources and CID inputs confirmed to us that many youths of this area in Tauru were involved in stone-pelting. We have arrested some from here as well,” the SP said.
