Dadri and aftermath
On monday, 28th of September 2015, in a smal village named Bisara near dadri in Gautam Budh Nagar district of UP, a mob of hindu zealots gathered in a temple and very soon they formed a group and attacked a muslim person living in that village. The name of the victim was Mohammad Akhlaq. He was living peacefully inside his home, and did not harm anyone. But teh mob attcked his home, broke his front door and dragged him out of his home and beat him to death. His younger son, danish who tried to save him, was also beaten and is in coma. His wife, daughter were also beaten.
and what is the reason for this violence . Someone (one of those among the crowd) had a spread a rumour that they suspect Md Akhlaq to having stored beef in his fridge. Wow what a reason.
The village, home to 2,500 families, of which 35 to 40 are Muslim, had never experienced any communal tension. The relations between communities were so “normal” that the victim’s family had a Hindu family over for dinner on Eid, said the report.
But could such incident be spontaneous? Many people doubt it could not have been spontaneous.

And very soon after the incident, union minister Mahesh Sharma stated that it was an accident. The local BJP leader said it was result of excitement. Local BJP MLA Sangeet som said that inncoents are being arrested for the killing of Akhlaq.
Sangeet som's speech
So very soon it became like a circus. But what was baffling was the Prime minister's silence on this entire issue. Very soon Azam Khan of SP jumped into the bandwagon and said he will send a complaint to the United nations.
Forced by the circumstances, on 7th of october, president Pranab Mukhrejee broke his silence and reminded everyone of plurality, seculalism, and tolerance. he referred to them as core values.
