Islamic ‘No-entry for outsiders’ signboards in Rameswaram villages removed by Police.

Special correspondent | Ramanathapuram (Tamil Nadu) | Jan 01, 2014:: Following a report published by The Pioneer first and propagated by Hindu Existence, Haindavakeralam and Hindu Janjagruti Samiti about the billboards put up by local Jamaat Councils in Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu that ‘outsiders were not allowed into the villages’, police last week removed all the signboards displayed prominently at entrances to the villages.

Hindu Existence propagated the issue under the headline “Fatwa challenges Rule of the land in Rameshwram villages in Tamil Nadu. Hindus are prohibited in some parts of India.” and commented “Islamic Fatwa violates Indian Sovereignty in Rameshwram villages in Tamil Nadu. Non Muslims are not allowed in the outskirts of Hindu Shrine place, even not allowed to purchase lands. State and Central Govt.s are sleeping. Oh Hindus! Retaliate wherever possible. Don’t give entry of Muslims and Christians in Hindu Villages and don’t sell a piece of land even. It’s our existential question in Bharat. Anti-Hindu forces are too active to cease our rights in the traditional land of Hindus.”

Immediate after publication of the report, the Hindu Existence Forum sent all the clippings of the news and pictures to various authorities (Administrative and Police) in Tamil Nadu and forwarded the same to all possible corner of the globe including the international media.

The high offices of President of India and the Prime Minister of India have also been alerted for such a repression over Hindus around Rameswaram villages.

The endeavour of all concerned and the main reporter of the specific news, Kumar Chellappan of The Pioneer has been reached to a fruitful end at last.

Yesterday, Ramanathapuram Superintendent of Police NM Mayilvahananan has been quoted by a local daily that he ordered the removal of the boards since they had the word ‘Warning’. “Only the police can use the word ‘Warning’ in public places,” he told the reporter of a local daily.

Though the local daily report quotes a Baskaran (that too a changed name), as telling that the boards were never a bone of contention as it was collective decision to put them up, The Pioneer had carried comments from persons with original names and are known to everybody in the district.

Though MH Jawahirullah, the Manithaneya Makkal Katchi (an Islamist outfit) MLA representing the Ramanathapuram constituency said no fatwa has been issued anywhere in the district and the report about hoisting of national tricolour with chappals was false, he has conceded that a group of boys were fined by the police for hoisting chappals. What he left unsaid was the presence of national tricolour along with the chappals.

The report also quotes that the presence of the bill boards were of no concern earlier. “It is out of fear that nobody lodges a complaint,” said D Kuppu Ramu, an advocate and VHP leader who was once brutally attacked by Islamic terrorists.

Elsewhere in the Ramanathapuram district, there are instances of the Hindus living in perpetual fear because of the sheer strength of numbers of the Musilm community which is getting radicalised by the day.

The present case of initiating Shariat laws in a Muslim majority area issuing fatwa or the tendencies of expelling the Hindu minorities from Muslim areas , have the right answer through instant and joint protest in many ways to restore Indian Constitution and law of the lad over Islamic hegemony and dangerous Shariat.
