Communal Strife Grips Haldwani: Death and Destruction Follow Mosque Demolition

Violence erupted in Haldwani, Uttarakhand, following the demolition of a mosque and madrasa, leaving two dead and 250 injured. Enraged Muslims protested, confronting police, while some Hindu youth incited further chaos. The communal divide deepens, fueled by hate rhetoric since Modi's party took power. Last year's Dharam Sansad in Haridwar worsened tensions, advocating for Muslim extermination. Discrimination against Muslims extends to housing in Dehradun and parts of Karnataka.
