MEERUT: Tension rose in a Bulandshahr village in UP after a group of men who were celebrating BJP's victory in the state elections allegedly tried to hoist the party flag on the roof of a local mosque on Wednesday night.Police and provincial armed constabulary (PAC) personnel have been deployed in the area; senior officials are monitoring the situation.The incident took place at Chachrai village in Jehangirabad block of Bulandshahr.The village has a population of 2,000 with Hindus and Muslims in equal number.Mohsin Ahmad, a villager who was present during the incident, told TOI, “It was around 9.30pm when a procession of men with tilaks on their foreheads passed through the area beating on drums celebrating BJP's win. A few of them stood in front of the gate of the mosque and then began hoisting the flag on the roof of the mosque. Some of us objected to this, which led to an altercation.“Though timely police intervention prevented the situation from worsening, there is now a palpable fear in the village. “When the police arrived, the men left the place but not before warning us that they would come armed with swords the next time. There is peace now due to the presence of the PAC contingent and the police, but there is an air of uncertainty within the Muslim community here,“ said Furkan Ali , another resident. Shyam Vir Singh , SHO of Jehangirabad police station, said, “We have received the complaint and police have been deployed around the mosque. No one will be allowed to disturb the peace in the region. We are investigating the matter.“BJP has denied its involvement in the incident. The party's district chief, Himanshu Mittal, said, “This is the handiwork of anti-social elements. BJP has nothing to do with this matter.“
