'We will beat up anyone who tries': Right-wing group vows to block rebuilding of Bulleh Shah shrine

MUSSOORIE: Kali Sena, a right-wing fringe group, has issued multiple statements warning that any attempt to reconstruct the over 100-year-old mazaar of Sufi poet Bulleh Shah in Mussoorie would be met with stiff opposition. In a video released on Thursday, the outfit’s state convenor Bhupesh Joshi said, “We will beat up anyone who tries to rebuild the mazaar. We will instead construct a Hanuman temple near it.”The statement comes after Baba Bulleh Shah Committee president Rajat Aggarwal said the mazaar would be rebuilt by May this year. The structure was vandalised earlier this month by a group of men, who allegedly broke open a donation box, stole silver jewellery, and damaged religious books. Days earlier, Bajrang Dal activists had protested against the mazaar and other shrines, claiming they had been built “without proper sanction on school or forest land”.Following Joshi’s remarks, Congress leaders met police on Friday and demanded action. “Efforts are being made to spoil Mussoorie’s social fabric by anti-social elements who do not even live here. We have asked police to take strict action against all those issuing threats; otherwise, we will stage a protest,” said local party leader, Megh Singh Kandari.Responding to queries from TOI on what action was being taken on the issue, Mussoorie circle officer (CO) Manoj Aswal said, “We have no knowledge of recent videos surfacing on social media and will take action once they are brought to our notice.”
