As the reality of demographic imbalance across India is now becoming a reality, in the state of Uttar Pradesh there has been an exodus of Hindus from the Noorpur village in Aligarh district that has gone viral on social media platforms.
However, the Yogi Adityanath administration quickly set things in motion and has lodged a complaint against 11 perpetrators who at present are absconding.
As per a report published in Amar Ujala, the minority community also tried to lodge the complaint but could not get through the authorities.
On 2 June afternoon, Aligarh MP Satish Gautam, Hathras, MP Rajveer Diler, and Khair MLA Anoop Pradhan reached the village to take stock of the situation.
“Some families had said that they can no longer reside in the village. The SDM and the Police CO have visited the village & now the situation in normal there,” Aligarh SP (Rural) Shubham Patel was quoted as saying.

It all started on 26 May when a wedding procession was passing and as reports by TFI, a villager named Omprakash and his daughters were stopped when passing through the village near the mosque.
Immediately some of the Muslims living in that area started pelting stones on the procession and Omprakash who had also sustained injuries said, “We were intercepted by people from the minority community; they objected to the procession. Our community has faced oppression on many occasions — they try and stop our wedding processions. When we tried to reason, they attacked and beat us. It was humiliating to face this on my daughter’s wedding day. I also received injuries,”.
As the problem escalated, the Muslim community forced Hindus who are mostly Dalits to put up ‘House for Sale’ boards in front of their homes and there are other media reports wherein the Muslim community also pressurize the Hindus to convert to Islam.
However, thanks to the Yogi Adityanath government that has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to appeasement, decisive action was taken. The hard task of rehabilitating the displaced Hindus is in motion while also ensuring no further communal incident happens in the future.
