After Jodhpur, homes of Hindu refugees from Pakistan bulldozed in Jaisalmer
India: Around 100 houses of Hindu refugees from Pakistan were bulldozed by authorities in the Amar Sagar area in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan. The women were baton-charged by police, and the children have been left shelter less amid scorching heat.
According to the reports, the action of bulldozing the houses of Pakistani Hindus was carried out under the leadership of UIT Assistant Engineer after the relevant orders were passed by District Collector Tina Dabi. The houses were razed to the ground in the presence of heavy police force, forcing women and children to come out on the road in the scorching heat.
The video of the incident was shared by Omendra Ratnu, an activist who has been working with Pakistani Hindu Refugees for many years.
The woman in the video could be seen lying on the barren ground with all the home articles thrown around. The video posted by Ratnu also stated that the women and children were lathi-charged by the police during the event. “The women here can be seen unconscious. This is because the police have imposed lathi-charge on them. Several temples have also been vandalized and set ablaze,” a man in the video could be heard saying. In another video he shared, the women could also be seen being taken to the nearby hospitals.
Earlier on April 24, hundreds of homes, most belonging to migrant Hindus from Pakistan, were razed down by the Jodhpur Development Authority. A video of the incident was made viral on the social media in which migrant Hindus could be heard expressing their anguish over the action taken by the authorities.
