Kairana (Uttar Pradesh): At a time when the Central government is mulling to award citizenship to Hindu migrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh, there are reports that the community is being to forced to migrate from a city in Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n

The disturbing trend has been witnessed in Kairana, located 124 kilometres from Delhi in Uttar Pradesh’s Shamli district, and is similar to what happened with Kashmiri Pandits in J&K in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

At least 346 Hindu families have migrated from Kairana due to goondaism and extortion threats. This figure has been provided by none other than Kairana MP Hukum Singh (BJP).<\/p>\n

Kairana is both an Assembly as well as Lok Sabha constituency, but the migration has been witnessed mainly in area that falls under the Assembly constituency.<\/p>\n

As per the 2011 Census, Kairana had 30% Hindus while the percentage of Muslims was at 68%. However, the figure now stands at only 8% Hindus and 92% Muslims, as per the local administration.<\/p>\n

Kairana is located close to Muzaffarnagar which was hit by communal riots in 2013.<\/p>\n

When Zee Media<\/em> correspondent Rahul Sinha<\/em> travelled to Kairana, he found that people there were afraid of speaking on camera fearing for their lives.<\/p>\n

They recalled that four businessmen had been murdered recently in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe atmosphere here is not good. After (Muzaffarnagar) riots, relief camps were established here. The atmosphere has turned bad after that,\u201d Gurpreet Singh, a resident, told Zee Media<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It may be recalled that when Muzaffarnagar was hit by riots, not a single incidence of violence was reported from Kairana.<\/p>\n

Anmol, another resident, said, \u201cIt has become very difficult to live here.\u201d<\/p>\n

BJP MP Hukum Singh said that \u201cmost of the families who have migrated from here were well-off\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who forced them out likely had their eyes set on their properties,\u201d he suspected<\/p>\n

The MP said Home Minister Rajnath Singh would visit the constituency at the end of this month and is likely to meet the affected families.<\/p>\n

Ashok Kumar Raghav, DIG, Saharanpur Range, said, \u201cThere is law and order, crime rate is under control. The matter has come to our notice, we are studying this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
