Uttarakhand Violence Erupts over Mosque and Madrasa Demolition

Hindu Nationalism - Police Deployment - Pushkar Singh Dhami

Violence and unrest in Uttarakhand state following clashes over the demolition of a mosque and madrasa. Details on the escalating situation and government response.

Violence erupted in Uttarakhand state after authorities demolished an alleged illegal mosque, leading to clashes and unrest. The situation escalated in Haldwani, resulting in four deaths and over 100 injured police officers. The Chief Minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami, issued a 'shoot-at-sight' order and imposed a curfew in the area. Schools were closed as tension mounted.

As the state demanded additional police forces and deployed central forces, communal tensions continued. The demolition of the madrasa sparked fury, with strict directives given to deal with rioters. The Uttarakhand High Court's postponed hearing did not prevent the Haldwani Municipal Corporation from demolishing the madrasa prematurely.

Interesting facts: Pushkar Singh Dhami, the Chief Minister, faced criticism for the handling of the situation. Hindu nationalist sentiments and tensions between communities were inflamed, mirroring a national trend. The clash in Haldwani highlighted the challenges of enforcing laws amidst cultural and religious sensitivities.
