Police savagery Continues....... testimony of Mukhtar Ahmed
Indiscriminate police firing on Bajardihas impoverished and poverty-stricken weavers exposes the minority-friendly character of the UP administration. Holi revelers trying to create Communal disturbance were left scoff-free. Adding to their woes, the hapless victims have not been given any compensation. Painfully, Mukhtar Ahmed, father of Moin, killed in firing laments, In front of my eyes, bullet pierced through the chest of my son. In stantaneously, he died. Though we rushed him to janata hospital, where he was declared dead. Moins younger brother, Mobin adds, As firing continued unabated, I was forced to my brothers body to my Mausas (uncle) house. After a while, police reached the possession of the body. Assurance of justice and compensation were given. But still, we havent got anything. Sitting near by, tear-jerking from her eyes, inconsolable Moins mother says, police was pressurizing for immediate burial of my son killed in the firing in presence of them, the burial place at around 5.30am. Police had been forcing me to change the statement. If do not fall in line then they would implicate my son in false case. Constant threats are given to me as I have dared to take up the cudgels on behalf of the deceased and survivors, Says Mukhtar Ahmed. Pushed to the corner, survivors of the police firing are languishing in penury. As Nisar Ahmed says. I was sole bread earner for my family. Now its quite difficult to get a square meal a day. Police fired ruthlessly on my right arm and left arm pit. One bullet pierced through my ankles. I suffer from excruciating pain and I have no money to purchase medicines. Incapacitated Abdul Rehman recounts, Bullet pierced through my left thigh and turned me into a physical wreek. Neighbours showed their generosity and my operation was possible. Still a bone grafting needs to be done. After that I can walk on my own without being dependent on the crutches. Since 2005, Holi revelers had been assiduously trying to engineer communal discord in bajardiha. These miscreants throw colours on the mosque, write filthy invectives on its wall targeting the Muslims. Police collude with the goons and kill the poor weavers.___________________________________

Child of the Muslim weavers\' community in Varanasi With this photo I want to expres my concerns of the childern of one of the oldest cities in Inda, Varanasi is situated on the bank of holy river Ganges. City is mostly inhabited by hindus and Muslims. Hindus are in majority but Muslim population is also more than 1 million. Mulim population is highly concentrated in different areas of the city. Most of the Muslim population (as well as many kids) is engaged in weaving work of famous Baranasi Sarees. Bajardiha is one of the most densely populated areas in Varanasi city. The total population of Bajardiha is more than 100,000 and most of them are weavers and living in appalling condition. In the concerned weavers’ community of Bajardiha there is only one government Primary school for children’s education, there is no hospital, no road, even there is no pavement in the locality. The sewer system does not work there. Everywhere in the area, stagnant and dirty water of sewer can be seen overflowing. The dump of rubbish is spread around the area which is not sanitary safe for the residents. Due to acute poverty and unhygienic conditions many people of this community, including children, are suffering from TB and Asthma. It is alleged that Varanasi Municipal Corporation is also responsible for the plight situation of the residents of Bajardiha. Due to breakdown of the economy in the market of Baranasi sarees, weavers\' community of Bajardiha have found difficulties to get job and the people are facing imminent problem of starvation. Thousands of weavers have been migrated to other cities leaving their families behind in search of livelihood; many others are involved in menial jobs to feed their families and children. In another community called Mirzamurad in Varanasi district named which is hardly 5 kilometers away from Varanasi city. People of neighbouring villages of Mirzamurad have also been engaged in weaving of sarees for last several years. Weavers of this area are also facing the same problem of loss of jobs due to breakdown of market. Most of the villagers in the area of Mirzamurad from different villages like Kardhana, Benipur, Mehdiganj, Ganeshpur, Islampur, Amini, Admapur, Mominpur, Kallipur, Chateri, Manapur, Thatara, etc are engaged in the weaving work. At the advent of summer season, weavers of this area were expecting that the market of Baranasi Sarees will gain momentum and with the increase in the sale of Baranasi Sarees they would be able to get job and their income will increase. But the weavers\' expectations proved to be mistaken and their hopes to get out of the crisis of acute poverty even for a while seem to be broken. Dozens of weavers have already been closed their looms due to fall of demand of Baranasi Sarees and groping the dark in search of their livelihood. It is reported that in the State of Uttar Pradesh election campaign is going on and the candidates from different political parties contesting the election to get elected for State Legislative Assembly and their leaders are spending millions of rupees to win the election by any means but the sufferings of poor workers are not on the agenda of any political parties. Majority of the Muslim community in India is living in acute poverty. Muslims in India have deliberately been deprived of education and jobs in government services. Muslim population in India mostly resides in cities and has been involved in different economic activities to earn their livelihood. It is ironic to know that Muslim population in India has been facing the negligence and indifferent attitude of Indian ruling authorities and local level administrations since independence of India. It has been the root cause of all sorts of backwardness and poverty among Muslim community. They have been subjected to acute exploitation and for this reason despite of hard labour majority of Muslim population has always been deprived of their essential requirements. Recently Justice Sachar Committee, which was established to improve economic conditions and social welfare of Muslims and other minorities in India, stated that the conditions of Muslims in India are even worse than that of Dalit. Sachar Committee has also recognized the fact that the Muslim community is deprived of all basic amenities and living in horribly poor conditions. Amidst assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, it has been reported that the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was pledging to implement the Sachar Committee\'s recommendations for the welfare of Muslims and other minorities. Addressing at the election meeting at Puranpur in Pilibhit, Singh said central government would implement the recommendations made by the Sachar Committee for socio-economic uplift of Muslims. However, the situation of the Muslim weavers in Varanasi district is hopeless and they have responded that it is only election stunt to attract the Muslim voters. They say that at the time of elections leaders are used to make mere verbal promises and once when election is over no leader turns back to take notice of them. The states have obligation to implement the right to adequate food enshrined in the ICESCR in domestic level under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). In the General Comment No. 12 for the right to adequate food (Article 11 of the ICESCR), the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights clearly defined about the meaning of the states\' obligation that \"[T]he obligation to fulfil (facilitate) means the State must pro-actively engage in activities intended to strengthen people\'s access to and utilization of resources and means to ensure their livelihood, including food security\" [E/C.12/1999/5, 12 May 1999, para. 15]. I am aware that India is a state party to the ICESCR. I therefore urge the Indian authorities to fulfil their obligation as a state party to the covenant and take immediate action in ensuring to respect, protect and fulfill the right to adequate food of the people in Bajardiha and Mirzamurad in Varanasi city Name of the victims: Muslim residents of Bajardiha, Varanasi city and the residents of Mirzamurad, Varanasi District, Uttar Pradesh Place of the incidents: 1. Kardhana, Benipur, Mehdiganj, Ganeshpur, Islampur, Amini, Admapur, Mominpur, Kallipur, Chateri, Manapur, Thatara, etc in Mirzamurad area of Varanasi district.
