Madhya Pradesh / Ratlam : ‘People from other communities are harassing’, Hindu families threaten to flee the village

More than 25 Hindu families have threatened to flee the village in Surana village of Ratlam district of Madhya Pradesh. Hindu families allege that they have been harassed by a particular community for the last two and a half years, due to which they have taken this decision. The threat came after a quarrel between two villagers. The Bilpank police have also registered an FIR against two people in the case. Of these, Mukesh Jat is reportedly the convener of a Hindu organization and the other is Mayur Khan.

Locals said that the families of Jat community, upset over the cross FIR on Mukesh Jat, have written on the walls of their houses that this house is for sale as they are at risk of their safety. The villagers have written that that is why they want to migrate from the village. Mukesh Jat says, ‘They play objectionable music and take out rallies. Because of these women did not feel safe. They are torturing us mentally and when we go to the police station, the police officers do not take any action. On January 16, Mayur Khan came to my house with more than 100 people and abused me. He threatened me and asked me to leave the village.

Mukesh said, ‘When I lodged an FIR regarding this, the police also registered a case against me. The people of the village do not feel safe. Another villager Omprakash Patel said, “Some members of the Muslim community are harassing us. They make fun of us and abuse us by taking out bikes at high speed. They throw garbage near our houses and spit in front of the houses.

Some people are giving communal color to small talk: Mayur Khan
On the other hand, the people of the Muslim community say that a group of people, especially Mukesh Jat is trying to give communal color to every little thing. Mayur Khan said, “For the last two years Mukesh Jat along with some other people is trying to create communal tension in the village. They lodged at least half a dozen complaints against people from the Muslim community. On January 16 also Mukesh fought with me and later filed a fake complaint against me.
