A lot of things in your religion don't make sense to us but lets leave it at that. The point is that if you claim to be a democracy and secular state everybody is supposed to live according to their will. Nobody can force their views on others of what makes sense to them or not.

yeah it is quite complex for ground zeroes like you guys.

The Uttar Pradesh police have reportedly confiscated goats and chicken from Mushara village in eastern Uttar Pradesh's Sant Kabir Nagar district, preventing Muslims from sacrificing animals during Eid al-adha, the Islamic festival of the sacrifice slated for celebration on 25 September.

According to a report, the Muslim residents of Mushara village sacrificed animals for the first time in 2007, sparking riots. The riot, allegedly started BJP leader Yogi Adityanath's Hindu Yuva Vahini, resulted in the destruction of several mosques, houses and shops in Mushara, Catch News reported. Following which, Muslims "promised" not to sacrifice animals again in the village.

"After the riots, the Muslims promised they would not sacrifice any animal either in their homes or in a public place during Bakr Eid. We have their statements on record," district magistrate Saroj Kumar told Catch.

However, this year, Muslims want to celebrate Eid al-adha according to the rituals and have appealed to the administration that they are allowed to sacrifice animals inside their homes.

"They are now saying they want to sacrifice animals in their homes and not publicly. But they promised they would not perform sacrifices even in their homes. They should keep their promise," Kumar said.



The Muslim's appeal has been objected by Hindu Yuva Vahini that has threatened to "react" if they sacrifice animals. "Why did they start a new tradition in 2007?... And now they want to start the practice again. We will definitely react," Vahini's Sant Kabir Nagar president Tun Tun Sharma said.

In order to maintain peace and prevent a riot, police have confiscated all the animals owned by Muslims in the area, Kumar said. "We confiscated the animals as a precautionary measure... What if communal riots break out once again over the sacrifice of animals?" he added.

We only want our constitutional rights, says Muslims in Mushara

Mushara resident Mohammed Khalid said that he was detained for a day and was left only after giving in writing that he won't sacrifice animal in the village. He referred to their action as "unconstitutional".

"What the district administration and the police are doing is totally unlawful. The Constitution says the people of this country are free to celebrate their festivals the way they like... And we don't even sacrifice animals whose killing is banned by law," Khalid said.

"We are not allowed to sacrifice animals even in our homes," he added.

Mohammed Farooq Ghosi, a Muslim leader, holds a similar view. He said that he will hold a protest march from Mushara to the district days before the Eid celebration. "Are Muslims not citizens of India? Don't they have the right to celebrate their festival the way they like?... We are saying we'll sacrifice the animals in our homes, not in a public place. Then why is the district administration jittery?" Ghosi questioned.

"What the district administration and the police are doing is against the spirit of the Constitution," he said.

The National Commission for Minorities has taken "note of the matter and has sought a reply from the Uttar Pradesh government", Ghosi added.

This is so unfortunate. Muslims are being forced not to celebrate eid. Secular india.

Slaughtering animals is illegal in India in homes. Only slaughter houses have the permit for that.

Why Chicken? Do Indian Muslims sacrifice chickens as well?

No. Never.

what if muslims goes to SC, they can always appeal there ?

Not likely. Slaughtering animals at home is circumventing the law. They won't win that. They have a better chance with a media trial. Which is what is happening.

[HariPrasad]

Nobody is inviting them. They can stay there. But this exposes how Indian government and state works.

It seems that you guys have taken contract to how other government works except yours.

This is just to show the true face. Which is nothing like the democratic,peaceful and secular face that you people here try to portray.

Your own countrymen are contradicting your claim.
