“Kheda violence: Eyewitness recall Congress leader Arif Sheikh leading the Muslim mob that stone-pelted the Navratri Garba event,” OpIndia, October 7, 2022:
Days after Islamists pelted stones at a Navaratri Garba event in the Kheda district of Gujarat, eyewitnesses have accused local Congress leader Arif Sheikh of leading the frenzied mob, reported Republic TV.
Sheikh, who contested the civic body polls of 2021 on a Congress ticket, was identified as one of the stone pelters. An eyewitness told Republic TV that a group of men were clicking pictures of Hindu women, participating in the Garba event.
The police were called in and the accused were shooed away. The eyewitness recalled that the men later came back, sat down on a verandah and started touching the women with their legs.
“They were made to move from there also… But after 10 minutes, they started pelting stones,” the eyewitness told Republic TV. He further informed that Arif Sheikh, who was present there at the time of the stone pelting, was seen instigating the Muslim men.
“Arif Sheikh fought the election in 2021 on the ticket of Congress, but the BJP candidate won. He has a first hand in instigating youths… Arif and others were sitting with me. They went away and within 5 minutes the riots started,” the man emphasised.
He confirmed, “Yes. Arif along with others was pelting stones.” The eyewitness pointed out that he recorded his statement against the Congress leader with the police. Republic TV reported that 3 people, including Arif Sheikh, are on the run from the law enforcement authorities.
The Background of the Incident
On Monday (October 3) night, a menacing mob of 150 Islamists laid siege on a Navratri Garba event in Undhela village in the Kheda district of Gujarat.
As per reports, they pelted stones at a Hindu temple, which hosted the event on its premises. Islamists had earlier objected to the conduct of the Hindu religious event by the village sarpanch (Head) under the pretext that a mosque was in the vicinity of the temple….

Note that these stone pelting incidents occurred after these events started requiring IDs, and turning muslims away precisely due to the behavior described above: muslim men taking pictures of Hindu women that they could target later for trafficking. Also, in some of those events in previous years, there were a lot of incidents of groping and molestation of Hindu women by muslim men
One of these stone pelting events was followed by the muslims involved being arrested and caned by the police, and then Indian journalists jumping in to bitch about the spirit in which the festival was being celebrated
India needs to pass a law banning people from participating in each other’s festivities, since this is what it leads to
Devasur says
India needs law to punish terror supporting journalists and laws to control sold out journalism.
Devasur says
Hindus celebrating their festivals in their temples and home peacefully. Muslims and leftards get butthurt. At the same time leftards cry about any one going to muslim area. As it is no go zone. The irony and shamelessness. Basically regardless of islamic or non islamic country, non muslims should not practice their culture. Yet somehow only muslims are the victims.
