The orgy of violence that took place in Meghalaya’s capital Shillong on October 28, 2022 is highly condemnable. The manner in which the protest against alleged unemployment by Federation of Khasi, Jaintia and Garo People (FKJGP) turned into a furious and violent mob, is a cause of concern not only for the Meghalaya government or the central government, but for the entire country. subject is. Shri Milind Parande, Union General Secretary of Vishwa Hindu Parishad has demanded from the government to ensure the security of the innocent and peaceful Hindu society of the state by taking strict action against the organizations carrying the path of violence and separatist path. Along with this, the political organizations of secular fraternity who give fertilizer and water to the violent people should also be curbed.
He said that apart from indulging in uncontrolled violence, the kind of political and anti-national slogans being raised by the frenzied mob, it is clear that what forces are behind this alleged agitation. It seems that the desperate opposition of Meghalaya and India is misleading a section of the youth of Meghalaya to go on the path of violence. FKJGP president Dundee Khosgint has expressed ostentatious concern over the violence, warning that the violent protests are only the beginning. It seems that they are not interested in a solution, but in fulfilling the anti-India agenda of their masters by terrorizing the peace loving society of Meghalaya through violence. The inaction of the administration there has added fuel to the fire.
The VHP General Secretary also said that this type of violence, which has been going on for the last few years on the signal of anti-national elements, is also showing its adverse consequences on the development of Meghalaya. Tourism is the mainstay of Meghalaya’s income, in which there has been a sharp decline. Business activities have come to a standstill. Traders and industrialists are unable to open their institutions. Due to the inaction of the police, people are compelled to hide in their homes. Over the years, peace loving people have migrated in large numbers.
Shri Milind Parande also urged the youth of Meghalaya that every problem in a democracy is resolved through discussion and not violence. Violence is neither in the interest of Meghalaya nor its youth. They should use their power not for the fulfillment of their personal interests by playing in the hands of separatist or violent elements, but for their development.
The VHP expects the Meghalaya government and the central government to take strict action against the violent elements and provide a suitable environment for the peace loving tribal and non-tribal Hindu society to contribute to the development of Meghalaya. Violence can be the agenda of the separatists, not the youth power conscious of its bright future. Presently the country is moving at a fast pace on the path of development. VHP believes that its development can be done only by joining this stream of development, not separating from it.
