Faizabad riots - A pre-planned act of violence

24th October 2012

The timeline of events:

1. An illegal construction of temple near a mosque in Mirzapur village, on the outskirts of Faiazbad,

produced an initial spark on 23/7/2012. The police administration instead of stopping the illegal

construction locked the gates of mosque, reminding everyone the fate of Babri Mosque. This partisan

action of the SO Cantonment produced intense negative reaction. The administration of the time did

not let the matter go out of hand. The incident, however, vitiated the peaceful atmosphere.

2. Sensing the possibility of future trouble, Muslim Ulama, Hindu saints and Senior Citizens of Faizabad

(Hindu and Muslim both) had requested the administration to resolve the matter on date 14/9/2012

(memorandum attached). However, the matter is still pending before the administration and illegality

of the construction has not been verified through the land records as yet.

3. Three idols were stolen from Deokali Temple on the night of September 21-22. These idols were

ancient and expensive. The priest and his family were responsible for its protection and were sleeping

nearby.

4. The police instead of putting pressure on the priest let the discontent in the Hindu youths simmer.

Hindu organizations came together on the issue of the theft. The DM and SSP, allowed the month

long protests.

5. During these month-long protests, ‘inflammatory songs, taped threats and communally inciting

recordings’ were distributed freely by the local BJP units.

6. The administration also permitted the visit of Yogi Aditya Nath a MP of Gorakhpur, and a rabid

communalist, who blamed the Muslims directly for stealing idols, without any evidence, and

provoked Hindus to take revenge, by forcefully removing Muslims from Faizabad and Ayodhya.

7. Surprisingly, the administration did not take any action against the Yogi or others.

8. The background for communal violence was thus prepared by the political leaders in collusion with

the administration.

9. On Wednesday (24 Oct, 2012), the Durga Puja procession began its journey peacefully for immersion

of Durga Idols into Saryu river.

10. At about 5:30 pm, when the procession was near Popular Medical Hall, Rekabganj , Faizabad , a

rumor was spread that someone has thrown a stone at one of the Durga Idol. This rumour was later

found by the police to be incorrect.

11. Mysteriously, however, the petrol and kerosene appeared in the hands of rioters and the Hindu youths

started burning of Muslim shops on the Rekabganj road.

12. The riots appeared organized as simultaneous incidents in Faizabad, a mosque and some shops in the

Bhelsar and Rudauli area were also torched. The scale of arson was not large, and sufficient force

along with police and administrative officials were present .However, senior level of administration

SSP and DM both proceeded to Rudauli, leaving the procession in Faizabad under the care of

subordinate officials.

13. In Faizabad, S.P. City and ADM City (administration) both were on duty, but they did not pass any

order to stop arson of Muslim shops or disperse the mob.

14. Inspector of Special Branch of U.P. State , and an official of I.B. were contacted to reach the spot and

to inform senior level district administration.

15. D.M. and S.S.P. reached the spot, and in their presence about 99 shops belonging to Muslims were put

on fire by the Hindu Youths.

16. Masjid Hassan Raza Khan situated centrally in the Chowk area, was also put on fire. All the shops,

including the office of Aap ki Taqat, a Hindi Urdu magazine, was looted first and then burnt.

17. To burn the mosque and the shops, the cans of kerosene were brought in a convoy of vans and parked

in front of the mosque from the evening.

18. The guard of the mosque, who is an eye witness to the presence of vans, had told the drivers not to

park the vans, but an official of the administration told him not to interfere. (Hindu report attached)

19. Ironically, while there was no dearth of petrol and kerosene with the Hindu youths, the Fire brigade

arrived at the Faizabad Chowk, without water, and allowed all shops to be gutted.

20. Seeing the failure of district administration, Div. Commissioner of Faizabad was contacted, who was

on a tour of Barabanki.

21. The Div. Commissioner and D.I.G., reached Faizabad Chowk promptly at about 8 PM, and tried their

best to control the prevailing situation . By about 9:00 pm. the situation improved. The I.G. (Zone)


and Special secretary (Home) also reached the Chowk. It was because of their presence that the

violence did not escalate and spread in the adjacent areas that day.

22. The arrival of CRPF and the Commandos, and their deployment in the affected areas, helped disperse

the Hindu mob. Salient points

1. Faizabad riots during the idol procession were an organized attack on Muslim’s business

establishments by the Hindus with the help of district administration.

2. District Magistrate, District Superintendent of Police, S.P. City, ADM city, City Magistrate, C.O.

City, and City Kotwal of Faizabad, all played a dubious and partisan role, and it was due to them that

violence escalated in Faizabad town.

3. Muslims neither initiated nor took part in the arson. The riot was a one sided affair. Onlyshops

belonging to Muslims were burnt thoroughly and viciously.

4. The district officials, who were unable to control rioting, over a stretch of road extending about 70

footsteps along North-South, and about 570 footsteps in the East-West direction, are now trying to

give it a colour of mutual clash between two communities that goes against all the evidences.

5. Moreover, the same officials, who were unable to give strict orders to quell the Hindu mob on 24th

evening, imposed curfew and ordered lathi charge on hapless Muslims shopkeeper, who had come to

salvage whatever had been left in their shops, on the morning of 25th October 2012.

The violence was not the spontaneous reaction of two antagonistic groups over any land dispute or eve teasing incident. The event was pre planned as the communal forces had:

• Brought Kerosene and Petrol in sufficient quantity to burn more than 99 shops

• Warned women and children beforehand not to come to procession (Durga - Puja invitation

attached)

• targeted mosques deliberately to provoke Muslims.

• spread violence in adjacent areas of Faizabad simultaneously, such as Bhadarsa, Rudauli,

Shahganj and Bande Ali Chahwni etc.

The simultaneous timings are very important as it shows a synchronization between the wide spread effort of violence against Muslims.

Muslims in Faizabad and Ayodhya are of the opinion that the violence during the Durga

procession is similar to the violence of 6th

December 1992, where 18 Muslims were burnt alive,

23 mosques were damaged besides the Babri mosque, and 458 shops and houses were destroyed.

Tragically not a single criminal has been punished as yet for these heinous acts, and this laxity

seem to have encouraged the rioters to break the law and order with impunity.

Violence in Bhadarsa

1. At exactly the same time i.e. 5.30 PM in Bhadarsa, on 24th October, about 14 shops belonging to

Muslims were put on fire by a Hindu mob with the help of PAC. These shops were adjacent to Jama

Masjid area. The allegation is that someone (identity unknown)threw a stone on PAC. (The same

strategy was used in Faizabad, where the fictional stone was rumored to hit the Durga idol.) The angry

PAC accompanied with rioters, mainly from adjoining areas like Sariyawan, Bharat Kund, and

Kalyanpur etc., burnt the Muslim shops. It is to be noted here that the local Hindu did not take part in

violence.

2. Rani Bazar near Shahganj also witnessed violence on the same date. Bakhtiyar Khan, Local SP

Leader was surrounded by Hindu Mob. Later, the police managed to disperse the mob.

3. Bande Ali Chhawni ,a locality on the outskirt of Faizabad town, was surrounded by Hindu mob on the

same day. Here, PAC dispersed the mob.


Violence in areas around Bhadarsa on 24th at the same time

(a) A Mosque was damaged in Devakail, which is 2-3 Km from Bhadarsa.

(b) In Fattepur, several houses of Muslims were set on Fire.

(c) In QaziSarai, under Thana Pura Qalandar, which is 25 Km from Faizabad, mob tried to burn

Muslim houses.

(d) Muslim houses in Islamabad area that has 99% Muslim population, was attacked by PAC and the

Hindu communal forces.

(e) In Bardaiya also that has Hindu population 80% and Muslims 20%, PAC and Hindu attacked

Muslim houses.

(f) In Murgia ganj, Gram Sabha Rajepur, where200 houses belong to Hindus and 25 houses to

Muslims,Hindus attacked the Muslim houses.

(g) The Mirzapur and Nimauli villages were surrounded by Hindu mob.

(h) Phulwariya and Babu Shah localities also witnessed arson.

(i) Muslims from Piprataland Hindus from the adjacent village Shivalaga thered and raised slogans

against each other, but no arson took place.

The partisan role of police in Bhadarsa and the nearby area

(a) CO – Ayodhya , In charge of Bhadarsa town area was himself involved in inciting Hindu mob.

(b) The SO of Thana Pura Qalanda ralso provoked Hindus to attack Muslims.

(c) Raj Kumar Dubey, an advocate and a rabid communalist, gathered Hindus and incited them to

violence by his speeches. 25 October, 2012

At Bhadarsa, Durga Prasad was stabbed to death when he visited the site of Mosque , where 15 shops

belonging to Muslim Community was set on fire by Hindus on 24th. Some Muslim, in retaliation

stabbed him to death. His shop was for Ready made cloths.

Flag march took place in Kurri Bazar - Thana Pura Kalandar, after Hindu miscreants tried to attack

the Muslim locality.

Preventive Measures:

1. On the directive of the Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, Principal Secretary (Home) R.M. Srivastava

and DGP A.C. Sharma visited Faizabad on Thursday October 25, 2012. He was also accompanied by

IG intelligence O.P. Singh.

2. DGP alleged that violence erupted in Faizabad due to dereliction of duties by District Administration.

3. He said that his orders were neglected by them. He confirmed that in order to control the violence, he

had authorized the use of water cannon, Rubber Bullets, and Tear Gas Shells ,for dispersing the mob.

He had also instructed to close the wine shops; but the presence of drunk devotees in the vigilance

videos suggested that wine shops were not closed. He affirmed that action will be taken against the

erring officers.

26 October, 2012

1. Muslims offered the Juma Namaz peacefully, in their local mosques, in the curfew bound

area.

2. The trouble however started again, when news came at sun-set that Bhadarsa has been surrounded by

the Hindu rioters, and they are setting Muslim houses on fire. To save the situation, district

administration rushed to Bhadarsa 15 Km. from Faizabad and DIG too went to Bhadarsa with CRPF,

because senior officers did not want to take chance in view of the past experience of failure of district

administration. The Hindu rioters used the opportunity of the absence of officers in Faizabad . They

started mobilizing Hindu Mobs to attack on Muslim localities simultaneously. The following areas

dominated by Muslims came under threat– Balla Hata, Kakrah i Bazar, Mughal Pura, Bhadarsa


interior areas, Ghosiana, Dilli Darwaza, Kashmiri mohalla, Navatipura, Chela Chhawni, Rath Haveli,

Chowk Faizabad, Bande Ali Chhawni etc.

3. In view of the danger, Dr. Manzoor Alam Saheb , General Secretary, All India Milli Council , New

Delhi , was informed about the prevailing situation in Faizabad. Once apprised of the situation,

Dr. saheb contacted the authorities in Delhi and the results appeared immediately. Additional Director

General of Police (Law & Order) along with senior officers and additional force came to Faizabad and

controlled the situation within an hour. Mr. Jag Mohan Yadav, ADGP (Law & Order) with

intelligence officers visited all sensitive areas and declared ‘shoot at sight’ order, with imposition of

strict curfew order. The Military was also called to standby, but was not utilized ultimately.

It is surprising that the miscreants and criminal elements came to know about the change in administrative

setup and disappeared immediately. This information was confidential and someone in the administration

seems to have conveyed it to the criminals.

Muslims of Faizabad pay their gratitude to Dr. Manzoor Alam and Janab ZafarYab Zilani Saheb, Janab Kamal

Farooqui and Dr. S.Q.R. Illyas, who remained in touch with Faizabad and supported the cause of Muslims.

We also want to thank Janab Waseem Saheband , Dr. Syed Abdul Bari of AIMC , Mohammad Suleman ,

President National League, Khalid Kamal of Kanpur, and Mohammad Anis of Faizabad , all have extended

their full support.

27 October, 2012

Faizabad Town:

The curfew bound Faizabad remained calm. Muslims were permitted to offer namaz in their own locality .The

namaz was offered in 40 mosques of different localities. However, as a mark of protest against the local

administration ’sin efficiency in letting the violence and arson continue for hours, Muslims did not go to

EiIdgah. They instead offered namaz in Jama Masjid Tatshah . The Qurbani also could not be performed

today.

ADGP (Law & Order) and his team were active on the roads, building confidence among Muslims for the rule

of law and order.

Some cases in Faizabad

(a) Janab Tufail (Mobile:9838326682) has reported that 4 Muslims youths were grievously wounded

but did not report the matter due to fear of criminals . They have been lying in bed without any

medical aid since the evening of 25 October, 2012. These are: Mohammad Tasleem with a

fractured leg ; Shamim Khan with a face injury (Mobile: 9452279445); Sarwar Khan and Feroz

Khan with multiple injuries . All are resident of Naya Purwa (Retia) adjacent to Bande Ali

Chhawni- near Akashvani (1/2 Km.), Faizabad. Matter has been conveyed to senior officers.

(b) ADGP (Law & Order) addressing the press declared that 46 people have been arrested on charge

of arson and 20 cases have been registered. More arrest in near future will follow on the basis of

video clipping. He assured that stern action will be taken, culprits will be booked under NSA

(National Security Act), and erring officers will be punished on the basis of video footage. He

assured that some relaxation will be allowed in curfew.

Bhadarsa Town:

(a) The town Bhadarsa remained under curfew.

(b) Muslims in Bhadarsa offered the Namaz peacefully but Qurbani could not be performed. (c) Rudauli Town is also peaceful and Muslims offered Namaz peacefully.

28 October 2012

Curfew bound Faizabad has remained peaceful. After Eid Ul-Azha , the district administration has started

holding peace Committee meetings in different localities of the city.


Up till now seven localities have held such meetings. These are –

1. Dilli Darwaza (Khurd Mahal )

2. Raath Haveli (Imaam Bara)

3. Taksaal

4. Ram Nagar (Ghosiana)

5. Purani Sabzi Mandi (residence of Suresh Pacheria)

6. Mughal Pura (JTC Field)

7. Beni Ganj 29th October 2012 and after

Faizabad is now limping back to normalcy. Administration is lifting the curfew in the day time, for

progressively increasingly more hours. During these periods no untoward incident has taken place.

From 31st onwards, after the application of Khaliq Ahmad Khan, addressed to the CM, UP, dated

29th

October 2012, compensation was distributed as per the list attached.

In view of above mentioned bare facts, discussions and prevailing situation , mistrust , lake of

confidence in state government and district administration, it is pertinent to develop and restore faith

in state Govt. and district administration among Muslim Community ,some preventive and

reformative steps are required immediately for permanent peace and harmony in Faizabad and

suburb towns – Bhadarsa, Rudauli And Bikapur.

Muslims of Faizabad, Bhadarsa, Rudauli and Bikapur Pray

1. Immediate 100% compensation to the victims of violence 24-26 October 2012. The Shopkeepers

be exempted from all taxes for 2 years in order to smooth distribution of compensation amounts to

avoid complications of Trade Act (Uttar Pradesh Value Added Tax Act), section 14-Reverse input

tax credit and section 21-Accounts and documents to be maintained by dealers. In case of arson ITC

claim will be rejected and Tax Department will realize Tax under RITC. The distribution of

compensation on basis of affidavit produced by shopkeepers will accelerate the process and delay

tactics adopted by the officers will be avoided.

2. The part of compensation be realized from the officers found guilty of dereliction of duty and

flouting the direct order of Director General of Police (DGP), U.P. on 24.10.2012 evening. for

maintaining law and order .

3. The Central Durga Pooja and Ramlila Coordination Samitee Faizabad carrying the Durga Pooja

procession should also be held responsible and compensation amount be realized from it.

4. The District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police (SSP) be suspended, who failed to maintain

law and order in a very small areas East-West 570 footsteps distance and 70 foot steps North – South

5. Ayodhya-Faizabad have to witness Diwali, Moharram and parikarma. The 5 Kosi and 14 Kosi

Parikarma will encircle the entire Ayodhya & Faizabad towns, the participations of criminals,

miscreants and communal forces like BJP, VHP, Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal, Durga Vahini etc can not

be denied, who are responsible for violence in Faizabad. The total failure of DM and SSP in

maintaining law and order in Durga Pooja, is indication that they cannot control future festivals and


Parikarma. The parikarma is not being performed under any committee or trust, about 12 Lakh

people is expected to participate.

6. The organizer of Durga Procession ‘The Central Durga Pooja and Ramlila coordination

committee’ Faizabad and Government officers be booked under 120B of I.P.C. in all criminal cases.

Appendix 5

The Role of Political Leaders of Faizabad

1. Pawan Pandey – Sitting MLA (SP). Noxious Relation:

Pawan Pandey has close relation with Suresh Pathak and his brothers. Pandey protected Pathak family

from the Police, when name of Pathak family surfaced in idol theft case of Devokali Temple , Faizabad.

He has also cordial relation with Manoj Jaiswal the president of Central Durga Pooja Samittee and

Ramleela coordination committee. The participants of Durga Pooja procession took part in orson and looting.

The violence of Faizabad was a part of conspiracy to divert the attention of Police and Public from Pathak

family, Manoj Jaiswal, Surya Kant Pandey (SP), Dimpal Pandey aspirant of MP ticket from Samajwadi Party

(S.P), joined hands with Pawan Pandey. They were at arsone site anddid nothing to extinguish the fire .

It is to be noted the village chiefs (Gram Pradhan) of Samajwadi Party played negative role in

establishing peace, due to them violence escalated in village sides.

2. Nirmal Khatri – Sitting Member of Parliament (MP).

He has double faced personality he wears Saffron Kurta among Ayodhya sants and green Kurta

among Muslims.

He projects himself as secular but by heart he is hard core communal:

Nirmal Khatri initiated new programme “Ramayan Mela” at Ayodhya , During Sripat Mishra as Chief

Minister Uttar Pradesh “Ramayan Mela” was adopted by State Government. From this platfrom Khatri

declared that Babri Mosque would be unlocked very soon. That was VHP popular demand. Mahant Nirtya

Gopal Dass is president of Ramayan Mela and he is also president of Ram Janam Bhum which is controlled

by Niyas a VHP (Vishwa Hindu Prishad) organization –

1st Feb. 1986 : Babri Mosque was unlocked against hon’ble High Court order to maintain status quo.

1988 : During Dashehra Festival 12 shops of Muslim wore set on fire by a single

Hindu Mangal Sunar (Gold Smith) during curfew. Maulana Kutbuddin Qudri Imam Jama

Masjid Tatsah and Abdul Halim were arrested under NSA, without any reason by the

Police. No hindu was arrested. At that time Nirmal Khatri was M.P .

09.11.1989 : Foundation stone (shilanyas) was laid down in front of Babri Mosque on disputed

Nazal Plot No. 586, Khatri was behind the shilanayas, against Hon’ble High Court order.

1989 General Election:

The Election of Parliament and UP Assembly election took place at a time. Nirmal Khatri to secure

his 2nd

term he shaked hands with BJP. The Congress has supported BJP candidate at assembly seat and BJP

extended its full support to Nirmal Khatri for his MP seat. His role in opening of Babri Mosque and shilanyas

at the disputed site. Played an important role in new political combination A unique slogan was raised during

election campaign – “Lallu Panju” Lallu for Lallu Singh Panju (hand) Congress symbol for Nirmal Khatri.

Unfortunately he was defeated by Mitrasen Yadav (CPI) candidate. Since 1989 after defeat he went into

oblivion and surfaced in last General Election defeating Mitrasen Yadav( SP) candidate now he is preparing

ground for 2014 General Election.Faizabad Violence 2012 is first step in that direction.

Under his guidance “Ayodhya Guido” was distributed by Tourist Department in “Ramayan Mela” at

Ayodhya, showing Babri Mosque site as Ram Janam Bhumi.

The Ramayan Mela which took place on 20-23 November 2009. He is assuring Hindu saints of Ayodhya

for the Construction of Ram Temple at disputed site provided he wins again. The indication is clear, he will

fight 2014 Parliament election on Ram Temple issue. He may seek support from Lallu Singh once again.


3. Lallu Singh, ex)MLA (BJP): He lost his assembly election against Samajwadi Candidate Pawan Pandey, The “ Ayodhya

Constituency” covers Ayodhya and Faizabad urban and small part of rural areas.

Lallu Singh has opened his card for 2014 election, he will fight election on Narendra Modi lines : During

Durga Pooja people has heard on loud Speakers, installed at makeshift structure (pandals):

“UP Bhi Gujrat Banega,

Faizabad Shuruaat Karega. (UP will also become Gujrat,

Faizabad will start.)

During Ten days festival “Durga Pandal” Durga idol makeshift structure was under control of BJP.

The BJP has displayed Modi Portrait with Lallu Singh on all Pandal of Durga on the main road. For the first

time Durga Pandal was used for Political party. It is surprising Manoj Jaisawal closed friend of Pawan Pandey

(SP) did not objected over display of portrait.

The fact is that Jaiswal is president of Durga Pooja samitti, without his consent this could not be done.

For Muslims of Faizabad - District Administration, political parties are the same. The Samajwadi

Party disappointed the Muslims of Faizabad.
