After peace in Hyderabad,
starts the blame game

Hyderabad:
The situation in riot-hit old city of Hyderabad Tuesday remained
peaceful barring minor incidents of violence even as an indefinite
curfew continued, police said. Over a hundred people have so far
been arrested in connection with various incidents since the tension
started.
Sporadic incidents of stone-pelting
were reported from curfew-bound areas of Gulzar Houz and Shahali
Banda near historic Charminar but the police controlled the
situation by resorting to baton-charge and arresting the miscreants.
No major incident was reported since Monday night from any of the 17
police stations in south zone, where indefinite curfew was imposed
at 7 p.m. following communal violence for the third consecutive day.
Meanwhile, tension prevailed in Musheerabad area outside the
curfew-bound old city after a clash between two groups. At least 10
people were injured when a group allegedly pelted stones on a
religious procession.
Police did not allow any group to take out procession on the
occasion of Hanuman Jayanti in the old city but such processions
were organised in some other parts of Hyderabad.
The violence, which broke out Saturday in Moosabowli area of
Hussaini Alam over a dispute on putting up of religious flags, has
so far left one person dead and over 80 injured while several places
of worship were attacked and vehicles torched.
With rampaging mobs taking to the streets in several areas Monday
afternoon, police imposed curfew to bring the situation under
control.
Policemen from other parts of the state, neighbouring states and
personnel of central forces like Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF),
Rapid Action Force (RAF) and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF)
have been deployed in the trouble-torn areas.
The violence of last three days and the curfew have put the
residents to severe inconvenience.
Supply of milk was arranged in curfew-bound areas Tuesday morning.
Women were allowed to come out and buy milk from the suppliers.
Police are keeping a tight vigil in sensitive areas around the
historic Charminar by strictly enforcing the curfew.
Police Commissioner A.K. Khan told reporters that the situation was
peaceful but there was no possibility of relaxing the curfew
Tuesday. He said any decision on relaxing the curfew would be taken
after a review of the situation Wednesday.
Police have been asked to deal firmly with anyone creating trouble.
"We will use all the powers and force at our disposal," he said
while hinting that police could also fire at troublemakers.
He said police had formed special teams to identify the culprits
behind the riots. "We have so far arrested 110 people in this
connection with various incidents and questioning them to identify
the culprits," Khan said.
A youth died in stabbing while dozens of people were injured Monday
afternoon when mobs attacked each other with stones and sticks. When
repeated baton-charge, use of teargas shells and firing in the air
by the police failed to bring the situation under control, an
indefinite curfew was imposed.
Authorities postponed the Class 10 examinations in all curfew-bound
areas. The education department announced that the examinations
would be held for students in the old city at a later date.
Other parts of Hyderabad, twin city of Secunderabad and Cyberabad,
the information technology district, remained incident-free though
police imposed prohibitory orders banning assembly of five or more
people as a precautionary measure.
'Blame game within Congress'
Meanwhile, in a major embarrassment for the Congress government
in Andhra Pradesh, a section of its leaders from Telangana have
openly charged their own party colleagues from two other regions of
being involved in the communal riots in Hyderabad.
Congress MP from Nizamabad Madhu Yashki Goud has said that the riots
were a conspiracy by leaders from Andhra and Rayalaseema regions as
those opposing the demand for statehood to Telangana had been
warning Muslims that communal tensions would rise in the separate
state.
"It is a conspiracy similar to the one against Chenna Reddy's
government to remove him from power," said Yashki referring to the
1990 communal riots of Hyderabad. Rivals of former chief minister
Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, both within the Congress and in the
opposition, had alleged that he was behind the riots to dislodge
Reddy from power.
Senior Congress legislator Shankar Rao has also alleged that those
opposing Chief Minister Rosaiah were behind the riots to defame him
and his government.
Their allegations evoked sharp reaction from Congress legislators
belonging to Andhra and Rayalaseema regions, who demanded
disciplinary action against them.
Congress sources said party's state unit president D. Srinivas spoke
to Yashki, Rao and another MP V. Hanumantha Rao warning them against
making any allegations over riots.
In the state assembly Tuesday, Rosaiah had to face embarrassing
moments when opposition leader N. Chandrababu Naidu referred to the
statements made by these Congress leaders and demanded a thorough
probe and stern action against those involved.
"We are not saying anything but your own party leaders have made
certain statements. A thorough probe should be ordered to find out
if your own party people are involved or there are other
unidentified elements behind the riots," the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)
president said amid protests by treasury benches.
Earlier, Rosaiah, in his statement, appealed to people to maintain
peace and urged all political parties to rise above political
differences to cooperate in restoring normalcy in the state.
Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) legislator Ahmed Pasha Khadri
Tuesday said his party has already given to the government the names
of individuals and the party involved in the violence and demanded
action against the guilty.
