Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) – Clashes broke out between the followers of the Ramakrishna Mission Ashram and the Brahmo Samaj. Many people, and the Police too got injured. This incident is said to be due to a land dispute. The case is pending in the Supreme Court. Currently, the situation there is tense. Police had to be deployed here in large numbers.

The followers of Brahmo Samaj first reached the ashram of Ramakrishna Mission. There, they had heated arguments with the followers of the Ramakrishna Mission. Then one group attacked the other with chairs. This led to both sides attacking each other with pots and stones. When the police tried to stop them, they threw stones at them as well. They vandalised the temple. The police commenced further action after registering a case.

Editorial Perspective

It is dangerous for Hindus to argue on such issues when there should be unity among Hindus, their organisations and sects.
