Jodhpur/Jaipur: Communal tensions gripped Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s hometown Jodhpur hours before Eid on Tuesday. The communal clashes prompted the authorities to suspend mobile internet services and impose a curfew in 10 police stations areas of the city.   CM Ashok Ghelot has also appealed to people to maintain peace and harmony.

Meanwhile, the Jodhpur deputy commissioner of police issued orders imposing a curfew till May 4 midnight. Mobile internet services were also suspended to check the spread of rumours.

The tensions broke out past midnight over the issue of putting up Islamic flags on the Jalori gate circle. It led to stone pelting in which five policemen were injured. The situation was brought under control in the early hours Tuesday with heavy deployment of police but the tensions escalated again in the morning after prayers at an Eidgah.

Shops, vehicles and houses were again pelted with stones near the Jalori gate area.

Members of the minority community were installing Eid flags. They put up a flag on a roundabout alongside the statue of freedom fighter Balmukund Bissa.

This led to a confrontation as members of the community alleged that a saffron flag, which they had put up there ahead of Parshuram Jayanti, had gone missing. The issue snowballed into stone-pelting and clashes, officials said.

Police rushed to the spot to control the situation during which five policemen were injured, the police control room informed. Police had to lob tear gas shells to disperse the mob.

Gehlot in a tweet urged people to maintain peace and called the incident unfortunate. “While respecting the tradition of love and brotherhood of Jodhpur, Marwar, I make a touching appeal to all parties to maintain peace and cooperate in restoring law and order,” Ghelot said.

The chief minister said instructions had been issued to the administration to maintain peace and order. Ghelot said leaders of all political parties should ask their workers to maintain peace and they all should remain united.

Gehlot also chaired a high-level meeting at the Chief Minister’s office to review the situation. He asked Ministers Rajendra Yadav and Subhash Garg, and two officers to go to Jodhpur by helicopter.

On the other hand, the BJP targeted the state government over the law and order situation. BJP MLA Suryakanta Vyas in Jodhpur raised an objection to the installation of an Eid flag alongside the freedom fighter’s statue. He had gone to the spot last night as soon as the incident occurred.

“They did (put up the flag) at (the statue of) Bissa ji and we have a strong objection to this. We will not forget this,” Vyas said.

BJP state president Satish Poonia said, “Putting up an Islamic flag on the statue of freedom fighter Balmukund Bissa by anti-social elements and removing saffron flags  put up on Parshuram Jayanti is condemnable,”

It is the second such incidents in Rajasthan after the Karauli violence, which erupted April 2 when some people pelted with stones a bike rally being taken out by Hindu outfits on the occasion of Nav Samvatsar.
