Muslim women threat self-immolation over graveyard

Amreli: Muslim women’s threat of self immolation at the graveyard site if attempts to build a temple continue, has caused a sensation. They have conveyed their resolve to National Human Rights Commission New Delhi and D.I.G. Junagarh in writing. A graveyard on the road leading to Chhabhadia of Damnagar has been in existence for several years and has historical importance. Muslims have been burying their dead for several years. However, some mischief mongers have raised certain technical objections and have been vigorously campaigning to get a temple built there. If such action is undertaken, Muslim women have resolved to commit en-masse self immolation at the site.
