Mumbai: The protest by several Muslim organisations at Mumbai's Azad Maidan against the recent riots in Assam and alleged attacks on Muslims in Myanmar turned violent on Saturday.

Reports said the protesters set on fire several vehicles, including an OB (Outside Broadcast) van of a Hindi news channel.

Police had to resort to lathi-charge to disperse the violent crowd.

The protests, led by Raza Academy, an organisation working to promote Islamic culture, were supported by other organisations like Sunni Jamaitul Ulma and Jamate Raza-e-Mustafa.

Sporting black badges, hundreds of members and activists of these organisations, converged at the Azad Maidan and expressed concern over the massacre of the Muslim community.

Earlier, Maulana Syed Moinuddin Ashraf, president of Jamia Qadriya Ashrafiya, urged the Central and state governments to intervene.

"It is the responsibility of the Congress government to protect the Muslims, and for that matter each and every citizen," said the Maulana, who is also known as Moin Miyan.

"With regards to the massacre in Myanmar, we understand it is an external problem and that certainly should be taken care of, but what is happening in Assam reflects on the state of affairs of the country," he added.

"A large number of Muslims have been rendered homeless and are now living in camps," said Raza Academy chairman Saeed Noorie.

Noorie said they have already written to the government of Myanmar, the United Nations, the International Human Rights Organisation, Organisation of Islamic Countries, President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to highlight the massacre of Muslims in Myanmar.

Only a matter of time until history repeats itself and India witnesses another partition. For sure Muslims will carve out another country for themselves. No nukes, no huge army will be able to stop the inevitable.

This was truly unfair of the community to make a show of strength. This is a time to sit down and talk to diffuse the situation in Assam and extend help to the victims. it is an open secret that the affected party was not Muslims. Such protests can only escalate the issue.

Home Ministry told the Maha Govt that if they need para-military forces, then they should immediately tell the union govt.

Irony, all religion teaches peaceful existence and any form of violence is an act of barbarism.
