On the occasion of Hindu festivals Navratri and Vijayadashami, the manner in which Durga idols were desecrated by being broken, idol immersion disrupted and processions attacked in some other parts of the country from West Bengal to Uttar Pradesh should not be a condemnable act. Can. What is even more condemnable is the one-sided defense of that violence by making distorted statements for Muslim appeasement. In the many years after independence, the people of Hindu society have never caused any kind of disruption in the festivals of any religion, rather they have always cooperated in celebrating their festivals by showing tolerance. On the contrary, Muslims never allow Hindus to celebrate any festival with joy, enthusiasm and happiness; they are always ready to attack with stones, bottles and bombs. How long will this continue?
There has not been a single major riot in Uttar Pradesh since the coming of the Yogi government. Due to the strong law and order system of the state, not only the Yogi government has come back to power but it is also having an impact on the electoral politics of other states. On the other hand, some political parties and their vote banks keep trying every day to spoil the law and order of the state. The same vote bank of Samajwadi Party and Congress succeeded in spoiling the atmosphere by pre-planned stone pelting during Durga idol immersion and innocent Ram Gopal Mishra had to lose his life.

Attempts to disturb the peace did not happen only in Bahraich, even before Vijayadashami, a particular community tried to spoil the atmosphere by breaking the goddess statues in Lucknow and Azamgarh. The idol of the goddess was vandalized in the prestigious Mari Mata temple in Lucknow, the idol of Goddess Lakshmi was vandalized in Azamgarh, stones were pelted outside the Durga pandal in Gonda district, in Hardoi district too, miscreants vandalized the temple at the time of Navratri. The idol of the goddess was broken due to which tension arose but due to the vigilance of the villagers and the police, no major disturbance could occur. Similarly, four idols kept in Chandrika Devi temple in Bachhrawan of Rae Bareli district were damaged by miscreants. Similarly, objectionable objects were thrown and attempts were made to create disturbance during the immersion procession in Betana of Ambedkar Nagar and Ichauli town of Barabanki. For the second time in Azamgarh, a dispute broke out over DJ playing during the immersion procession in Nizamabad. A case has been registered here against 48 unknown people. At the Samogar Ghat of Bamrauli Katara in Agra, two youths of a particular religion attacked outpost in-charge Mukesh Kumar with the aim of obstructing the immersion of idols in Yamuna. They strangulated him, made him fall on the ground and beat him. They could somehow escape only after the arrival of additional policemen, but here also due to negligence both the youths managed to escape. Ramcharit Manas was stolen from the temple in Bijnor district and burnt.
After all, if all this is not mental disorder then what is it? If we take a bird’s eye view of the incidents that have taken place in the state on the occasion of Navratri and Durga Puja, the pattern is almost the same. All these incidents are sporadic in appearance and hearing, but their purpose is collective. The Central Government has banned notorious organizations like PFI but it seems that their sleeper cells are continuing their work.
Durga Puja, Vijayadashami, Ramnavmi, Ganeshotsav are important festivals of Indian culture and tradition, they are the identity of our culture. How can anyone have any enmity towards them or those who celebrate them? During the immersion of Durga idol in Bahraich district, a twenty-two year old Hindu youth Ram Gopal Mishra was sacrificed, Muslims killed him very brutally, but those doing politics of Muslim appeasement in the state were seen serving their vote bank on this occasion too.
These Muslim appeasement parties were earlier blaming the failure of the government and administration and now when strictness is being taken, they are saying that the state government is taking unilateral action. Now all they want is Yogi’s resignation because now is the time for accounting of stone pelters. When there will be such unilateral attacks on Durga Puja and Ganeshotsav, then sooner or later the patience of the Hindu society will also wear out, if the Hindu society also starts doing the same?
In the Bahraich incident, an innocent 22 year old Hindu youth is brutally murdered, a section of the media also remains silent in favor of the minorities, but a criminal named Baba Siddiqui, who has become white collared by the grace of appeasers, Is shedding tears. This one-sided secularism is not going to last much longer. On the other hand, now Hindus will also have to understand that you cannot depend on anyone for your security, you will have to make yourself so strong that no one can even think of having the audacity to turn your festivals into festivals of sorrow. .
