And the trend continues - Hindu festivals/processions getting attacked by radical Islamists! In yet another such development, a radical Muslim mob pelted stones at a group of Kanwariyas near Shahnoori mosque in the Jogi Nawada locality in Bareilly City of Uttar Pradesh.

The incident took place at around 3 pm when Kanwariyas were en route to Budaun to fetch holy water from the river Ganga. The Kanwariya groups were going to perform ‘jalabhishek’ at the nearby Vankandinath temple. Reports suggest that the locals alleged that the kanwariyas were playing loud music while passing through the Muslim-dominated locality when they were attacked; and it was former local corporator Usman Ali and his aides who pelted stones from the roofs of the houses there.
 
 
It is pertinent to mention that it is not the first time that Kanwar Yatra was attacked by radical Islamists. Earlier on Wednesday (July 19), a 15-year-old Muslim boy was charged with ‘attempt to murder’ after he pelted stones at Kanwariya groups in the Shergarh area in Bareilly city of Uttar Pradesh.
 
After this Alt News co-founder Mohammad Zubair, who has a habit of spreading half-baked truths, attempted to change the course of the incident. Responding to a tweet by veteran journalist Deepak Chaurasia, he said that it Kanwariya group that started the stone pelting.
 
Firstly, Deepak Chaurasia tweeted, “Stone pelting on Kanwariyas near Shahnoori Masjid in Bareilly is very shameful.”
 
He informed, “As per the information, a group of 2000 Kanwariyas was going to take water from Kachla, when the people of other community (Islamists) started pelting stones at them from Shahnoori Masjid. More than 12 kanwariyas were injured in this stone pelting and several policemen were also attacked with stones.”
 
 
“The miscreants fled the scene after pelting stones. They should be punished severely. No liberal will react to this incident. All liberals and the ‘tukde tukde gang‘ are silent since it does not fit their agenda. Even the so-called human rights crusaders, who beat their chest in the name of intolerance, are silent on this issue #Bareilly” he added.
 
To this, Mohammed Zubair shared a 27-second cropped video saying, “Hello, Deepak Chaurasia, why are you fuelling the fire by showing only one video? This is another video where Kanwariyas can be seen pelting stones in the presence of police force."
 
 
However, this lie by Zubair was busted when popular Twitter user Ankur Singh shared a longer version of the video, which was originally procured by Sudarshan News.
 
 
In the video, a mob of Islamists could be seen pelting stones at the Kanwariyas. “Why was the beginning of this video cut off, Zubair? Because it was clearly visible who was throwing the first stone? As soon as stones were pelted at Hindus in response, Zubair cut off that part and started running propaganda,” Ankur Singh wrote.
 
He further emphasised, “Zubair would come to save those who spit and throw stones at Kanwariyas. This is why such incidents are on the rise. People like him are setting the fire.”
