Meanwhile, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has convened a high-level meeting with the DGP and other officials to discuss the state’s law and order situation.
“I want to appeal to people to maintain peace. This type of tension is not good for the people of Jodhpur. I’ve instructed police to deal strictly with anti-social elements. Everyone should understand that we’ve to maintain brotherhood,” said Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot on Jodhpur clashes.
Notably, tension has descended on Jodhpur, Rajasthan, after two groups clashed on Monday night over the flying of religious flags. The fights began at the Jalori Gate intersection after miscreants from one community erected an Islamic flag at Balmukand Bissa circle and removed the saffron flag before the Eid-ul-Fitr and Akshaya Tritiya festivities. People from the other group opposed, resulting in a violent confrontation.
The police were forced to use lathi-charge to disperse the gathering after reports of stone pelting. Several police vehicles were damaged as a result of the brawl.
