Three Madrassa Students – A 17-year-old Muslim boy sustained a fracture and two of his fellow students were injured after they were allegedly thrashed by a group of men for refusing to chant ‘Jai Mata Ki’ and ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ at a park in Outer Delhi’s Begampur area.
The men who beat up the boys have not been identified, however, a case in the matter has been registered and the police are looking into the matter.
The injured, Dilkash, Ajmal and Naeem, were discharged after treatment.
The Reactions
The chief imam of the All India Imam Organisation (AIIO), Umer Ahmed Ilyasi, on Wednesday described the thrashing of three madrasa students for not chanting ‘Jai Mata Ki’ as most unfortunate, and called on the concerned authorities to take punitive action against those trying to spread intolerance and hatred in society.

The Police Action:
Delhi Police on Wednesday confirmed the arrest of five persons who were allegedly involved in the assault of three Madrassa students at a park in the city’s Begampur area.
Police said that the arrests had been effected under Sections 323, 325, 506, 341, 34 and 36 of the Indian Penal Code.
Nervousness starts creeping in
One of three Madrassa students who alleged he was beaten up by a group for refusing to say ‘Jai Mata Di’ said he was withdrawing his complaint, a day after police registered an FIR against five people in the matter.
Change in Statement
The three Madrassa students have changed their statement and said they were not asked to chant anything but instead had gotten into an argument which escalated and a few blows were exchanged.
Uncle of one of the accused, refuting any theory about the kids being asked to chant anything, said that the boys were playing cricket and subsequently had an argument leading to a rough exchange.
Conclusion:
So basically these three Madrassa students rather three idiots communalize an issue and the Mainstream Media and Bloggers on Politicians’ payrolls go full retard. Their malicious propaganda is exposed, they won’t have the decency to take their words back and say sorry. Manufactured malice is dangerous. It alienates communities and widens the gap between them. The Government must look into these news traders mode of operation and reprimand them befittingly.
