The movies of the incident, which have since gone viral on social media platforms, clearly present the gang of 50-60 Muslims forcing their manner by the night aarti and attempting to create a ruckus which finally resulted in a scuffle between the 2 events. The police, nonetheless, remained a silent and mute observer whereas the incident unfurled in entrance of them earlier than stepping in on the eleventh hour showcasing priorities of the Uddhav Thackeray authorities.About 50 to 60 Muslim fanatics barged into the traditional temple of Machhindranath perched atop the Malang Gad fort and chanted “Allahu Akbar” slogans to disrupt the continuing aarti carried out by Hindu devotees.Any feedback? @RanaAyyub @khanumarfa @ReallySwara @ravishndtv @zoo_bear pic.twitter.com/EgWb1cmz8B— Tushar Kant Naik ॐ♫₹ (@tushar_kn) March 30, 2021The incident has invited sturdy reactions from Hindus throughout the nation. According to media studies, yearly, throughout Magh Purnima, the Machindranath’s devotees undertake a Magh Purnima Shrimalang Yatra to the Malang Gad fort. However, because of the rising COVID-19 circumstances within the state, the authorities refused to permit the procession. Reports acknowledged that Shiv Sena by some means intervened and obtained permission for 50 Hindu devotees together with authorities officers and different dignitaries to partake within the ‘Yatra’.Hearing that the Hindu devotees have been granted permission — the Muslim group and its radical members hatched the plan to disrupt the Puja aarti and finally succeeded in doing so.The motive for the scuffle is the age-old controversy relating to the origins of the temple and to whom does it belong. The Goraknath sect believes that the Machhindranath temple is the resting place of Baba Machhindranath whereas the Muslims declare that the temple is the shrine of Sufi Fakir Haji Abdul Rahman Shah Malang aka Malang Baba who got here from Yemen within the thirteenth century.Both communities have claimed their authority on two separate items of land within the compound and the dispute has been ongoing for many years. In the 80s it was Shivsena that first raised the difficulty and the case finally went to the courts.While Shivsena did make the Yatra attainable this 12 months, owing to its authorities within the state — one can not assist however surprise, the rise of extremists parts within the state the place Hindu voices are being always stifled and drowned within the cacophony of appeasement politics. Shiv Sena, a celebration that used to uphold the Hindutva Philosophy, is now enjoying into the palms of its so-called allies.Maharashtra has been a stronghold of the Hindus because the time of the Maratha kings however in current instances, it seems that the minorities have gained a lot higher unbridled rights because the Hindus are being subjected to inferior remedy. The mainstream media has utterly eradicated the complete incident from its nationwide reportage simply because Muslims marched right into a Hindu temple and began chanting their spiritual slogans. Imagine if the roles have been reversed? The furore that may have ensued then would have painted India as an unsafe nation for the Muslims.However, it’s the failure of Shiv Sena to rein within the radical parts which have induced the state of Maharashtra to succeed in this stage. No one of their wildest creativeness may have predicted that Shivsena — an unapologetic Hindutva occasion beneath the rule of Balasaheb Thackeray would flip right into a timid and weak occasion trying to earn the stripes of a secular occasion and indulging in appeasement politics to woo the minority group of the nation.Uddhav Thackeray has come a great distance in ditching the saffron credentials of his occasion. The ‘Shiv Sainiks’, as the employees of the occasion was referred to as, have now grow to be mere foot troopers employed to pander to their chief’s concepts of a secular occasion.Read extra: ‘Janab Balasaheb Thackeray’ and ‘Shivaji’ with out ‘Chhatrapati Maharaj’ characteristic in Sena youth wing’s all-Urdu calenderAs reported by TFI, Shiv Sena’s youth wing in January reportedly printed an Urdu calendar for the Gregorian 12 months of 2021. The calendar had mentions of Islamic festivals, solar and moonrise and in addition introduced Shiv Sena patriarch in a brand new ‘secular’ avatar – ‘Janab’ Balasaheb Thackeray. Current occasion supremo Uddhav Thackeray and his son Aditya Thackeray too, additionally obtained their names prefixed with ‘Janab’ on the brand new calendar.While the Janab is prefixed in entrance of their names, this Uddhav Thackeray authorities is identical administration that has made no headways within the Palghar lynching case thus far. As reported by TFI, two Juna Akhara Sadhus- Chikane Maharaj Kalpavrikshgiri (70) and Sushil Giri Maharaj (35) and their driver Nilesh Telgane (35) have been lynched to loss of life by a bloodthirsty, 200-strong mob in April final 12 months.Read extra: Two Sadhus and their driver lynched to loss of life by a mob in Maharashtra’s Palghar whereas cops watchedThe case by no means obtained a speck of curiosity from the Uddhav Thackeray authorities because the “Sadhus” have been handled like a disposable waste. Thus, it solutions the query of how Muslims so confidently entered into the compounds of the Temple, chanted the slogans and returned unscathed. The backing of the Thackeray authorities to extremists would possibly flip Maharashtra into the subsequent West Bengal and now we have already seen how Hindus are being handled there. The day just isn’t far when ‘Jai Shree Ram’ or ‘Jai Maratha’ will grow to be an anti-India slogan within the state as nicely.
