Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) workers were injured after they were attacked by a group of radical Muslims for three Rashtriya organizing a shakha in Rawatpur, Kanpur.

The Muslim men were Angry over the setting up of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) shakha in Rawatpur. Thus, they attacked the house of an RSS worker, Anshul Trivedi. Anshul Trivedi and his brother were gravely injured in the attack.

Anshu Trivedi, who lives in the Bartanwali Gali of Rawatpur, is a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh worker and the shakha in the locality is also led by him. It is alleged that Jeetu Khan, Akhil Khan, Ayaan Khan, and Saddam Khan, who live in the area, opposed the organizing of the RSS shakha.

On the afternoon of 11^th August, Anshu Trivedi was standing outside the house with his brother Veer and another associate Manikant. At this time, the Muslim men, attacked the three Hindus with sticks and kicks. When they tried to defend themselves, the attackers further attacked them with bricks. Haring the noise, Anshu’s mother came out and tried to protect them, but the Muslim men verbally abused her and threatened to murder her if she refused to stay away. The three badly injured persons were shifted to the hospital for treatment.

The victim RSS worker said that Jeetu Khan and his friends were abusing him since Muharram. They were angry over the RSS branch in the area and were asking him to shut it down. They had also threatened to attack him on Muharram. Due to this threat, Anshu Trivedi and other family members stayed in the house on the day of Muharram and didn’t go out in fear of attack.

In this ‘Secular’ India, its Hindu population is afraid to step out of their houses because they would become a victim of communal hatred.
