Gujarat Disturbed Areas Act: Hindus in Bharuch get calls, messages to put pressure to sell their homes

Op India  

Soni Faliyo residents of Bharuch are now getting calls and messages from unknown numbers from outside of country where the person, identifying himself as a Muslim, is pressurising them to vacate their homes. OpIndia had earlier reported that residents of Soni Faliya had put up ‘for sale’ posters to protest against the demography change and lack of proper implementation of Disturbed Areas Act in the locality. Another resident said that all the recent houses in the locality which were sold to Muslim buyers were done without following the SOP for transfer of movable properties in areas where the Disturbed Areas Act is in place. WhatsApp calls and messages offering money to sell their homes Local residents who had put up ‘for sale’ poster in protest in a bid to draw the administration’s attention towards the matter of demography change are now getting messages on WhatsApp offering them huge amounts for their homes identifying himself only as ‘Muslim man’. Disturbed Areas Act is often wrongly interpreted that it applicable where at least one party between buyer and seller are either Hindus or Muslims.
