Hindu social activist and businessman shot dead and chopped ghastly by suspected Islamist goons in West Bengal.
Tapan Biswas | Hindu Existence Bureau | Sahararhat | South 24 Pgs | West Bengal | 30 March 2014::
Even a TMC supporter and Hindu businessman is being brutally murdered
by the Islamic goons in West Bengal for his inclination to Hindu
organisations and declining donations to Islamic hoards. Mr. Kartik
Chandra Methia (43 yrs), a successful Hindu businessman and a well
acclaimed supporter of Local TMC (Trinamul Congress, the ruling party of
West Bengal) was shot dead from point blank range and chopped with
swords to ensure his death by suspected Islamic perpetrators in the late
evening of March 29, 2014. The gory killing of Mr Methia took place
inside the confectionery ‘Rwitika Sweets’
located at Jagannathpur junction of Sahararhat Market on Falta road
within the jurisdiction of Falta PS in the district of South 24
Paraganas in southern West Bengal. It was known that a team of six or
seven miscreants riding motorbikes entered the confectionery shops in
two groups one after another. They also ordered some sweets and curds
(yogurts) to consume. But, all on a sudden they attacked Mr Methia with
gun-shot and started chopping with swords repeatedly to be sanguine of
the murder. The suspected perpetrators came from a Muslim majority
village named Sonakopa in close
proximity, as reported by the local witnesses. The ghastly incident
took place in front of the workers of the confectionery and a few
customers present in the nearby shops. They were too afraid and startled
to raise any alarm even and to thwart any such approach, a few bombs
were also hurled for the success of the well planned operation. Three
sharpened weapons were also recovered from the spot.
The deceased Kartik Chandra Methia was
known as a social worker in his locality and had good relations with
various social and political organizations. Apart from that he also
maintained his faith on various Hindu Organisations like Bharat
Sevashran Sangha, Goudiya Mission, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and used to
donate various rural Hindu functions and various social welfare
activities. He was also the Secretary of Sahararhat Businessmen’s
Association. Mr. Methia was a extraordinary man with profound courage
who stood as a stonewall before Islamic expansionism in the locality. It
has been known that Mr. Methia opposed an Islamic ‘Jalsa’ in a ground
traditionally maintained as ‘Rash Math’ in the locality, where local
Muslims reportedly were trying to build a mosque. As the Jamaat-e-Islami
supporters were failed to erect any Mosque in the Hindu place of ‘Rash
Math’ due to resistance of local Hindu mass led by Kartik Chandra
Methia, the perpetrators were supposed to have a plan to clear the main
hurdles for their Islamic goal. Mr Methia has left his widowed wife, three daughters and other members of the bereaved family.
Following
the unbelievable murder of Mr. Methia, the entire area was overwhelmed
with anguish and anger against the inaction and failure of the local
administration to nab the murderers yet. A large number of protesting
people blocked the Falta Main Road, as a mark of their demand to arrest
and punish the perpetrators immediately. As a matter of fact two
adjacent police stations viz Ramnagar PS and Falta PS are failed to
provide safety and security to the local Hindu residents as allegedly
keep relations with Muslim gang leaders connected with various anti
social activities including illegal cow trading, arms trading, women
trafficking etc. all against Hindus’ interest. Actually, Hindus have
lost all confidence on police officials, especially on Sakir
Ali – DSP and two Inspectors-in-Charge of Falta and Rammagar PS. It has
been learnt that these two police officers have alleged connections
with the local criminals, especially with those from the Muslim majority
village of Sonakopa. The Hindu protestors raised slogans against police
administration for playing an anti Hindu role, only to favour with the
Islamic hooliganism in the area. Mrs. Moumita Saha, SDO of Diamond
Harbour reached the spot and assured all possible efforts for making
immediate arrest and staunch action against the perpetrators.
The mortal body of deceased Kartik
Methia was cremated on Sunday night as per Hindu rituals at Sarswati
Burning Ghat at Falta under police protection when the protesters
lifted their agitation after getting the assurance of arrest of the
perpetrators within three days by the police agencies.
Hundreds of BJP activists led by Amaresh
Mukherjee, Nitish Mondal and Abhijit Das offered floral writhe to the
mortal body of Mr Methia and conveyed deep condolence to the bereaved
family.
The shopkeepers of Sahararhat kept their
shops closed on Sunday as mark of mourning for the untimely death of
their friend in need.
Sri Amaresh Mukherjee, an educationist
and a senior key person of Falta Literature Association narrates the
entire matter as a pre-election violence as the public says that the
deceased person denied to give any donation to any political party
connected with Muslim appeasements. It is heard that Mr Methia had a
rough altercation with some Muslims in the last week over the issue of
wearing Muslim dress and keeping unusual relations with Muslim leaders
by the present CM of West Bengal, Miss Mamata Banerjee. Those Muslims
came to the confectionery shop of Mr Methia to get donation for an
Islamic jalsa. Mr. Methia refused them in a straight way.
Though whole situation is grief stricken, the Hindu wrath can strike
hard at any moment if the police and administration are found more
callous and impotent. The locales apprehend that some Islamic agencies
are distributing both money and arms to strengthen the Islamic environs
so that the Hindus can be evicted from their homes and hearths from
Falta and Diamond Harbour -II Block. The Hindus of nearby Magrahat – II
Block have already become a pity minority and the Hindus of Blocks like
Magrahat – I (Usthi) and Diamond Harbour – I, are fighting hard to
retain their slight majority against the Islamic expansionism yet. The
ruling parties in West Bengal have been always extending their favours
to the Muslims to gain from Muslim Vote Bank.Post Script:
