Gym trainer’s death: Meet condemns ‘divisive efforts’
Gurgaon: A citizens’ convention was convened in Nuh on Sunday to condemn a series of mahapanchayats being organised in support of an accused in the alleged lynching of a gym trainer identified as Asif Khan.
A convention organised by Shahidane Mewat and Nagrik Manch accused some groups of attempting to incite tension in certain areas. The convention was attended by several leaders of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), Centre of Indian Trade Unions, clerics, and some political leaders.
“The convention was in response to what has been going on for the past few weeks,” said CITU state president Surekha.
Last month, Asif Khan (27) was allegedly beaten to death by a group of men while he was out with his cousin to buy some medicines. While police said the incident was a fallout of old rivalry, Asif’s family alleged that the youth was lynched.
“Since last year, several groups have been trying to divide people on communal lines. We are urging people to not fall into the trap and maintain law and order,” said local leader Ramzan Chaudhary.
During the convention, the SKM leaders also announced to hold a “Kisan Mazdoor Bhaichara” event at Sunehra border on June 28.“These are the attempts to weaken the farmers’ movement by trying to divide farmers on communal lines. Such tactics will not work and we will do our best to thwart such attempts,” said former MP and leader of CPIM, Subhashini Ali Sahgal.
