Top police officers and a large posse of policemen from the state are camping in the district to ensure that no communal flare-up erupts today. The violence broke out when members of the Muslim community were demonstrating against the recent derogatory remarks made by an American Baptist priest against the Prophet Mohammed in an interview telecast by CNBC on Sunday.According to state police control, five people were killed in the clashes. Two were killed in sporadic incidents of stabbing while three others died when police resorted to firing to quell the rioters who had gone on a violent spree damaging public property and indulging in arson. The situation in the district was said to be tense but under control as the police have been instructed to deal severely with miscreants.Shops and establishments as well as schools, colleges and religious institutions remained closed this morning as people were scared to venture out. Heavy patrolling of the sensitive areas is in force while deputy chief minister, Mr. Chhagan Bhujbal, has reportedly dashed to Solapur to take stock of the situation.Meanwhile, Muslim localities in other cities of the state maintained a peaceful bandh yesterday 2. This news report is in Marathi. It looks like yesterday's riots in Solapur was a kind of muslim storm more than a riot. Interestingly, a Shiv Sena leader was killed by the rioters when he went to see a vandalised idol. After this the advise of other Shiv Sena leaders was to maintain calm and peace and brotherhood with Muslims. All in this report. How Shiv Sena and Mah. has changed.http://www.loksatta.com/daily/20021012/mp01.htm Discover your Indian Roots at - http://www.esamskriti.comLong Live Sanathan / Kshatriya Dharam.
