MHA: Reports of vandalization of a mosque, in Tripura fake
The Union Home Ministry on Saturday said news circulating on social media about the damage and vandalization of a mosque in Tripura is fake and a complete misrepresentation of facts. The Ministry also cleared that there is no report of simple or grievous injury or rape or death of any person in any such incidents in Tripura as alleged in some social media posts.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued a statement saying, “News reports have been circulating that a mosque in Kakraban area of Gomati district in Tripura has been damaged and vandalized. These news reports are fake and are a complete misrepresentation of facts. the mosque in the Dargabazar area of Kakraban has not been damaged and the Tripura Police in Gomati district is working to maintain peace and tranquility.”
The statement further says, ” There is no reported case of damage of the structure of any Masjid in Tripura in the recent past.”
The MHA has appealed that the people should maintain calm and should not be misguided by such fake reports. The statement said, “In Maharashtra, there have been reports of violence and unsavoury statements that are aimed at disturbing peace and harmony, based on the fake news of Tripura. This is very concerning and it is urged that peace is maintained at all costs.”
There has been violence in some parts of Maharashtra following rallies taken out by Muslim organizations on Friday to protest against the fake news of incidents in Tripura.
In Amravati, over 8,000 people had gathered outside the district collector’s office on Friday to submit a memorandum demanding that atrocities against the minority community in Tripura be stopped.
Violence was reported in Amravati, Nanded, Malegaon, Washim, and Yavatmal.
Police have so far arrested 20 people and detained four others by registering 20 FIRs under various charges, including rioting, in connection with Friday’s incidents.
