Two girls burnt to death in Hindu-Muslim riots in India
LUCKNOW, India, June 19, 2006 (AFP) Two girls were burnt to death in sectarian rioting between Hindus and Muslims sparked by the death of a youth in India's Uttar Pradesh state, police said Monday. "Over 100 houses were set ablaze in a Hindu-Muslim clash in which two girls were charred to death," a police official said. The incident in Pratapgarh, 200 kilometres southeast of Lucknow, came after a Hindu youth was gunned down by unidentified people in a village market Sunday evening. "Riot police have been sent to the village to control the situation," police said. "Over 100 people have been arrested. The situation is still tense." http://www.dawn.com/2006/06/19/rss.htm#9 ------ Hindus, Muslims clash in north Indian town, 2 schoolgirls killed (AP) 19 June 2006 LUCKNOW - Rioters set fire to more than 100 houses, killing at least two girls, during Hindu-Muslim clashes in northern India sparked when unidentified gunmen killed a local Hindu leader, police said on Monday. The violence Sunday in the town of Pratapgarh followed the shooting death of village council leader Ashish Pathak in a crowded market, said police official Prem Prakash. As news of the incident spread, his supporters took to the streets, destroying shops and setting fire to Muslims� homes, Prakash said. �More than 100 houses were burned, and two girls were charred to death,� he said. Riot police were patrolling the town on Monday, but the situation was still tense, he said. Pratapgarh is about 200 kilometers (125 miles) southeast of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh state. Relations between Hindus, who make up more than 80 percent of India�s billion people, and Muslims, at 14 percent the country�s largest religious minority, have been largely peaceful since India�s independence from Britain in 1947. Still, there have been sporadic bouts of violence. Three people died in Aligarh, north of Lucknow, while four others were killed in Lucknow in separate clashes between Hindu and Muslim groups last month. http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle...on=subcontinent |
