New Delhi: The fear of what happened yesterday with the planned new Haj House in Dwarka area of the capital was voiced by Muslims earlier. About five dozen Shiv Sainiks allegedly uprooted the foundation stone of the planned building. Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit had laid foundation on 8th July.

The miscreants also broke the main gate of the campus and grills, they were sloganeering “if no land for Amarnath Shrine, no land for Haj House in Delhi”, says a report published in the Urdu daily Rashtriya Sahara.

The police have registered an FIR against Shiv Sena and some unnamed persons in the Dwarka Sector 23 police station and security personnel have been deployed at the site.

According to the report, the miscreants attacked the site around 8 in the morning and about half an hour they were breaking and destroying whatever they found at the site. As soon as the news spread a few hundred Muslims from neighbouring colonies gathered at the spot. Soon some Haj Committee officials including CEO Sharon Bagaria and committee member Muhammad Shakeel Saifi reached there.

Talking to TwoCircles.net on phone, Saifi said he is receiving threats as he had filed the FIR.
