Agra:
Nand Kishore Balmiki, the man at the centre of the December 8 conversion
in the city, was on Wednesday remanded in 14 days judicial custody by
the district court.
Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Khaliquzzama remanded Balmiki in 14 days judicial custody. The police tried hard to get Balmiki's remand, but the court refused to give his custody to police.
Meanwhile, members of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal demanded that the people who burnt saffron flags in the Madhu Nagar slum, where the December 8 conversion took place, should be arrested. In a press release, the VHP said that Madhu Nagar slum residents who hail from Bangladesh should not be allowed to live in the city.
After almost a week on the run, Agra police finally arrested Balmiki on Tuesday. He had disappeared soon after the "reconversion" of 57 Muslim families in Agra's Madhu Nagar slum that hit national headlines, stalled Parliament and set off angry protests from both Muslims and secular groups in the country.
Sunil Parashar, a leader of Gau Raksha Vibhag (cow protection department), an offshoot of VHP, claimed that Bajrang Dal and VHP will make two teams and organize mass protests in the city against the biased attitude of police who arrested Balmiki due to pressure of a particular community but failed to any action against the miscreants who burnt the saffron flag with a sign of 'Om' on it on December 13.
The press release issued by VHP also claimed that the Madhu Nagar slum dwellers had accepted that they are from Bangladesh, but still no action has been taken against them by the district administration or police.
"People of the other community are serving food to slum dwellers who are actually hailing from Bangladesh. They are planning to destroy the country's unity by taking Bangladeshi infiltrators in their community," said Bajrang Dal regional convener Rakesh Tyagi.
BJP district president, Shyam Bhadauriya also criticized the act of burning the saffron flag in Madhu Nagar slum and claimed that the Hindu community will not tolerate injustice against the religion.
