Aswamedha Yajna of the Chaddis reaches West Bengal and Orissa

The fine art of instigating communal tensions just before elections
"How did you manage to come here?" Dr Amalendu Das asked me, as I walked into his medicine store at Howrah's Dewanghat, approximately 37 km from Kolkata.
"Journalists were not allowed to enter this place all this while," he says, surprised. The air around us smells of burnt rubber and cloth. This is where violent clashes erupted between groups of Hindus and Muslims on December 12, the day the Milad-un-Nabi was observed by the Muslims.
The clashes, ransacking of shops, and looting and burning down of houses continued for three to four more days, and, according to official figures, a hundred houses and shops were ransacked, and completely or partially damaged or gutted. Fifty one persons were arrested.

The administration in Odisha’s Bhadrak extended curfew in the riot-hit coastal town until 8am on Sunday in view of simmering tensions over ‘objectionable’ Facebook posts that had sparked communal violence over the past two days.
“Barring few incidents of looting and ransacking, there has been no large-scale violence or casualties reported ,” Odisha director general of police KB Singh said on Saturday. “No once should react to messages on social media or rumours,” he said.
Bhadrak in coastal Odisha witnessed violence after some allegedly disparaging comments were posted on the Facebook page of a RSS-linked Viswa Hindu Parishad(VHP) activist on Ram Navami. Agitated VHP and Bajrang Dal activists thereafter took to the streets, demanding the arrest of the culprits. Several shops in the town were ransacked and set on fire during the protests.
