Letters purportedly written by some panchayat heads in Haryana’s Mahendergarh, Rewari and Jhajjar districts “banning” Muslim traders from their villages have surfaced online, amid communal tension in parts of the state. The almost identical letters cite the violence in Nuh district on July 31, when mobs attacked a VHP procession.
However, many sarpanches in Mahendergarh and Rewari denied having issued any such letters making a reference to a particular community. District authorities said they have taken note of the letters online and are investigating the matter.
BJP netas gets entry to Nuh, AAP turned away
A BJP delegation arrived in Nuh on Wednesday to meet administrative officials and take stock of the situation in the violence-hit district, even as a delegation by AAP was stopped on its way to the district.
The BJP delegation was led by state president Om Prakash Dhankhar. A seven-member delegation of Aam Aadmi Party’s Haryana unit was stopped by police just before they entered Rewasan village. A senior police officer said the delegation was sent back in view of the curfew.

District Commissioner Dhirendra Khadgata said they had made it clear that any political delegation can visit Nuh to discuss the situation with officials at the guest house. The BJP delegation said that they wanted to meet officials, he said. But the delegations from the Congress, the AAP, and the CPI wanted to go in the field and meet the people. So they were turned away, he said.
