NEW DELHI, 01 November 2021, (TON): According to a statement “Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, India's largest socio-religious Muslim organisation, will repair affected mosques and rehabilitate houses of Muslims that were targeted by rioters in the northeastern state of Tripura last week.”

A fact-finding team from the group led by General Secretary Moulana Hakimuddin Qasmi visited different areas of the state to assess the communal riots.

Earlier this week, the Association for Protection of Civil Rights said there have been at least 27 confirmed incidents of right-wing mobs attacking mosques, houses, and individuals in Muslim areas of the state.

The rights group said almost all attacks were carried out by various right-wing groups, including the right-wing Vishva Hindu Parishad, that ostensibly gathered to protest anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh.

"It is to be noted that in SepahiJala (district), a place located at a distance of only 30 kilometres (19 miles) from Agartala, the capital of Tripura, rioters ransacked the mosques and prevented Muslims for the last several days to offer prayers there," Jamiat said in a statement, adding that the delegation also visited riot-affected areas and targeted mosques.
