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 Muslims 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.
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.

2. Muslims offered the Juma Namaz peacefully, in their local mosques, in the curfew bound area. 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.
Bhadarsa Town:
(a) The town Bhadarsa remained under curfew. (b) Muslims in Bhadarsa offered the Namaz peacefully but Qurbani could not be performed. Rudauli Town is also peaceful and Muslims offered Namaz peacefully.

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

Serious allegations have been leveled against Central Durga Pooja Committee for including criminals , rioters and drinkers in the procession, whom they did not control. Eye Witness accounts also affirm that several trolleys meant to carry Durga idols were stocked with wine and kerosene, for these rioters to burn the Muslim shops and establishments as per a preplanned strategy . All these actions have made the Durga procession Committee illegal . However, the district administration has not yet taken any action against the erring officials of the Committee

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.
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 honble High Court order to maintain 1988 status quo.
: 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 . : Foundation stone (shilanyas) was laid down in front of Babri Mosque on disputed Nazal Plot No. 586, Khatri was behind the shilanayas, against Honble High Court order.
09.11.1989
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.
02
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.
