After a communal altercation on July 31 heightened tensions in Haryana to new heights on Wednesday, Union Minister of State and Gurugram MP Rao Inderjit Singh met with PM Modi. Conflict erupted in Gurugram and expanded to other parts of Haryana. Over the course of two days, violence spread from Nuh and Sohna to Gurugram, resulting in the deaths of six persons, including two house guards and four civilians. A Hindu protest on Monday sparked violence that has resulted in the arrest of at least 116 persons. Muslims pounced on the rally as videos circulated online saying cow vigilante Monu Manesar and his crew of followers would be present. The VHP-Bajrang Dal stormed a mosque in Gurugram in revenge.

There were further acts of violence on Tuesday evening despite the implementation of prohibitive orders intended to prevent an escalation of the situation. The VHP-Bajrang Dal took their demonstration to Delhi on Wednesday, while the Haryana government claimed everything was under control.Despite going to invite PM Modi to the inauguration of AIIMS in Haryana, the minister said he spoke to PM on numerous matters, including the recent incident in Nuh. The lawmaker elaborated on his earlier statement on who brings clubs and swords to a religious assembly by saying, “If both the sides were carrying arms, then it is a question of the investigation who provided those arms.” The government of Haryana will look into this.BJP ally Dushyant Chautala, Haryana’s deputy chief minister, accused the rally’s organisers for the violence on Tuesday, while CM Manohar Lal Khattar blamed a plot. According to Dushyant, the rally’s tense atmosphere was the result of the organisers’ failure to offer adequate details about the event
.
Dushyant claimed the inhabitants of Mewat, today known as Nuh, fought alongside India’s independence movement and the Mughals throughout history.The issue was brought before the Supreme Court on Wednesday because protests by the VHP and the Bajrang Dal are planned for multiple locations in Delhi that day. The Supreme Court did not put a stop to the demonstrations, but it did tell the individual states to crack down on hate speech and maintain peace and order. Senior attorney CU Singh defended the case, telling the court that 23 such protests had already taken place in Delhi since morning, with a few more planned for the evening in volatile parts of the Capital. SV Raju, the Union’s additional solicitor general, testified on their behalf.
