The recent speeches by a Congress MLA in Haryana should ring alarm bells in the ears of Mewat Hindus. MLA Maman Khan stands accused of running hate campaigns in the name of Haryana assembly elections. Additionally, it seems that Khan’s speech delivers a warning to Hindus and BJP supporters.
Khan’s radically veiled threat in speeches raises concern for regions like Mewat, in the context of rising communal tensions. Maman Khan, a Congress MLA, warns that when Congress forms the government, “certain people will have to leave Mewat.” His words send shivers and shockwaves through the Hindu community in the Mewat region. Thereby, reigniting fears of a situation akin to the exodus of Hindus from Kashmir in the 1990s.

MLA Maman Khan’s track record is a cause for concern for Bharat. He stands accused of inciting the Nuh riots of July 2023. The Nuh violence saw coordinated attacks on a Hindu Shobha Yatra procession, leading to the deaths of several people and injuries to dozens, including police officers. Investigations revealed that the anti-Hindu violence was pre-planned, with Khan accused of playing a critical role by spreading rumors. BJP leaders accuse Maman Khan of paying locals to attack the Jalabhishek Yatra and mobilizing violence against Hindus.
Maman Khan was arrested under UAPA charges for his involvement but was later granted bail.
मेवात में हिंदुओं को नरसंहार की खुली चेतावनी देता यह व्यक्ति कोई और नहीं कांग्रेस का विधान सभा प्रत्याशी मामन खां है ।।
इसकी भाषा देख कर लगता है कि मुख्य मंत्री हुड्डा नहीं ।। असली मुख्य मंत्री तो यही बनेगा ।।
इसका यह भाषण हरियाणा के है उस हिंदू तक पहुंचना चाहिए ।। जो कांग्रेस… pic.twitter.com/K5TryC8mNb

Maman Khan has not been cleared of all charges and continues to under investogation. However, his inflammatory rhetoric and Hinduphobia have not ceased. In MLA Khan’s latest speech during his election campaign in Mewat, he issued a veiled threat to Hindus and BJP supporters. He mentioned that those who had done injustice to “Mewat’s children” would have to leave the region once Congress came to power. This statement has drawn widespread condemnation from the BJP. Many interpret his words as a direct threat to the Hindu population of Mewat. The BJP’s response on social media was sharp, warning that a Congress-led government would incite riots and force Hindus out of the region.

The Kashmir Parallel: A Stark Warning
The veiled threats against BJP supporters and Hindus in Mewat lead many to refer to the Kashmiri Hindu situation. In the 1990s, radical Islamist groups showcased their “peaceful” nature under the influence of separatist ideologies. A mass exodus was witnessed, where terrorized Kashmiri Pandits fled from an anti-Hindu genocide in action from the Valley.
Today, many fear that a similar fate awaits Mewat Hindus if the 79% Muslim population of the Mewat region allows such inflammatory speeches to go unchallenged by the law or election commission!

MLA Maman Khan’s words of vengeance, coupled with veiled threats of expulsion, raises concerns about the safety and future of Hindus in the area. Why? Mewat has a history of communal tensions, with Nuh named a mini-Pakistan due to its unchecked radical Muslim population. Additionally, the Nuh violence of 2023 has only exacerbated the divide among the Muslim and non-Muslim communities.

Therefore, the Congress party’s silence on MLA Maman Khan’s inflammatory speeches presents the ugly truth about the “Mohabbat ki Dukaan” mask! Moreover, the CON party’s decision to grant MLA Khan a ticket for the upcoming Haryana elections also showcases their stance on communal harmony. If Khan’s words are left unchecked by the law, ECI, or CON party; could Mewat become the next flashpoint for Hindu persecution and exodus in Bharat?
Haryana: A Crucial Election for Hindu Voters

The upcoming Haryana assembly election should not be observed as a contest for political power. These elections are an existential fight for Hindus in regions like Mewat. This election is not about “Jati” supremacy or an internal Hindu strife for control! Rather, it is a fight to secure the future and safety of Hindus in areas where they are increasingly feeling marginalized and under threat.
If leaders with a track record of inciting violence come to power, the consequences for the Hindu community could be dire.
Hindus in Haryana must carefully consider their vote. Choosing leaders who do not speak up against radicals or endorse them through silence, might lead to a repeat of the Kashmiri Hindu horrors. In a region where religious identity is becoming increasingly politicized, Hindus must vote for their safety and security. Each vote this election will determine whether regions like Mewat become safe havens for extremists or not. Can Haryana retain its inclusive nature where all communities can live without fear? Only time will tell!
CONgress MLA Maman Khan’s inflammatory rhetoric continues to make headlines. Thus, Hindu voters in Haryana must understand the stakes in this election. With the CON party’s silence and Khan’s veiled threats, the specter of another Hindu exodus looms large. The choice this October is not just about political allegiances but about the future of Hindus in Haryana. Hindus must vote with their eyes open, understanding that their vote could very well decide whether Mewat and similar regions follow the tragic path of Kashmir.
