Sanjauli: Pro-Hindutva group urges local vegetable sellers to display ‘Sanatan Sabji Wala’ placards
Sanjauli: Devbhoomi Sangharsh Samiti (DSS), a pro-Hindutva organisation that has been actively pursuing the Sanjauli mosque issue with local authorities in Himachal Pradesh, has called on vegetable sellers to display placards reading “Sanatan Sabji Wala.”
Members of DSS, along with Civil Society Group, Sanjauli, distributed placards to local vegetable sellers, urging them to display these signs at their stalls and shops.
According to a report by The Indian Express published on Friday, Vikas Thapta, who is associated with the DSS and the Civil Society Group, stated that they distributed placards with ‘Sanatan Sabji Wala’ written on them among vegetable sellers. “We distributed placards only to differentiate between local vegetable sellers in Sanjauli sitting for a long time and those who come here frequently, disturb the peace, and vanish,” he said. He added that no one was forced to display the placard on their stalls.
Meanwhile, an activist from the outfit told the Tribune that they have launched a campaign to place these boards in the shops of Hindu vendors and are urging people “to buy vegetables and fruit only from Hindu vendors.”
However, Shimla Superintendent of Police Sanjeev Gandhi asserted that this is not permissible under law. “One can’t be allowed to do something that promotes disharmony, division, and discrimination in society. It’s a criminal offence and punishable under law,” he was quoted as saying by Tribune.
Several vegetable sellers reportedly removed the placards shortly after members of the DSS and Civil Society Group left the local market.
Sanjauli, located a few kilometers from Shimla, was the epicenter of violent clashes last month that demanded the demolition of the alleged illegal Sanjauli mosque. Over 15 FIRs were registered against protesters, including members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Devbhoomi Sangarsh Samiti, and other groups.
