Nagpur Violence: Curfew Imposed, Over 50 Arrested

Deccan Chronicle  

Mumbai: More than 50 people have been arrested and curfew imposed in parts of Nagpur a day after communal violence erupted in the city over the demands for removal of Mughal ruler Aurangzeb’s tomb in Maharashtra. The Maharashtra CM also said that ‘Chhaava’ film has ignited people’s anger against Aurangzeb, but added that the violence was pre-planned after a rumour. The violence broke out in Nagpur on Monday evening after a rumour spread on social media that a ‘chadar’ with holy text was burnt during the protest held by Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajarang Dal in the morning demanding removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb. If you want, you can remove Aurangzeb’s grave, but invite Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar when you demolish it.” However, BJP minister Nitesh Rane held Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi responsible for the Nagpur violence. Mr. Azmi, who has been suspended from the state assembly for the duration of the budget session for allegedly glorifying Aurangzeb, expressed regret over the violence and said, “I am deeply saddened that Nagpur, where everyone was living with harmony and communal riots never occurred earlier, has witnessed such a major incident this time.
