CM Nitish Kumar said his government is apprehensive of communal tension in Bihar in the line of riots in Muzaffarnagar in UP, as he said, "Social harmony is the need of the hour and all issues and disputes should be resolved with mutual understanding and respect for each other."
He expressed his deep concern over the prolonged riots in Muzaffarnagar, where over 40,000 people have been displaced.He further added,"The communal situation is assuming dangerous proportions and I shall raise the issue at the forthcoming meeting of the National Integration Council. All attempts... should be made to maintain communal amity,".
CM Nitish Kumar said, "Bihar has been witness to such developments in the last few weeks, when attempts were made to foment communal tension. This is in stark contrast to the last eight years when there was complete communal harmony. We need to ask ourselves who is responsible for this, and why does this happen? We shall counter these challenges with all the power at our command, and remain firm in our resolve to achieve the goal of development with justice." He suspected that more such attempts might be made in the run up to the 2014 parliamentary election.
RJD supremo Lalu Prasad suspected a deep-rooted conspiracy, allegedly designed by the RSS and BJP, to foment communal tension in Bihar and other places before the Lok Sabha polls. "I suspect that Nitish Kumar cannot effectively counter this challenge, so it is the responsibility of people to remain alert and help each other during any critical situation," .
All the above reporting, if compared to what happened in the neighbouring state UP's Muzafferpur earlier this month, gives us few conclusive views, which people have to visualise, analyse and draw a conclusive judgement :
{"Similar Incident --- Contrasting Results in Muzaffernagar and Khirkiya Riots"}
http://indiahonest.blogspot.in/2013/09/similar-incident-contrasting-results-in.html
a) during election time the so called secular or the blamed communal parties plan the nasty ploy and work on that to incite the religion based flare up only to create polarisation of their vote banks ;
b) minority voters are always targeted, crushed, injured, killed, their property damaged; but not always by any communal party but more by the creator of the nasty ploy to create fear of insecurity to be used by the so called secular parties; so as to draw them on their side for protection. A, the poor,weaker and innocent sections of the minorities, always get trapped in that and suffers 90% of all damage to their properties and lives;
c) all these communal riots starts with some natural incidents or due to some planned hate creation;
d) most of the flare up can be stopped by 1} fast and strict non partisan use of force control by the administration 2} by allowing transparent news flow of the incident by the media and the administration, even a joint declaration by all the political parties,administration authorities, social and religious leaders saves escalation of the flare up, but in practise the political parties waits and delays the flow of facts, just to promote the rumour mongers to work to fulfil the nasty polarisation target.
If one analyse all the details on real time basis and draw a honest conclusion ,than the Bihar CM Nitish Kumar should not be afraid of , as long as he has learnt some lessons from the mistakes UP CM. Akhilesh had done; and further no Azam Khan is there in Bihar to brutalise the minority just for the sake of polarising them to consolidate them in their favour.
It is dead blame game argument to put finger on others for the ignition of trouble on others. Do, anyone sound and intelligent person, can agree that majority section of society also need polarisation by the threat of communal violence ? They are only activated to react in the aftermath of a full blown up flare up, and it does not always results in polarisation for any particular party unless opposed by other partisan political bigwigs. The logic is very clear, but will they accept it.
