Muslim graveyard in Munger attacked, administration silent

By TwoCircles.net staff reporter,

Munger: A Muslim graveyard in Munger was attacked yesterday by some by some anti-social elements when its fencing was going on. The miscreants forced workers to stop their work, destroyed some graves and looted the materials of fencing like bricks, cement, sand and pebbles.

The 90-kattha graveyard is located near Chhoti Masjid in Maksashushpur village. The miscreants also tried to spoil the peace there when they took out a women rally and gheraoed the collectorate demanding that the Muslim graveyard should be replaced by any school, park or entertainment place.

It is to be noted that the survey done in 1917 declares the land as Qabrastan and it has been used as graveyard for more than 100 years. There are many solid graves in it too.

Surprisingly the administration is silent over such a sensitive issue and it did not do anything to continue the fencing work of the Qabrastan.

Despite all provocations the minority community maintained patience and this has kept situation from worsening. The silence of the administration is strengthening the doubt that it is in hand in glove with the miscreants.

The president of the Tahaffuz-e-Qabrastan committee Mr Nisar Ahmad has urged the Chief Minister, home minister and minority affairs minister to intervene in the matter.
