Eyewitnesses said that the police and army personnel did not come forward to help the Hindus and remained mute spectators. This area is mainly Hindu dominated and 90% of the population here belongs to the Hindu community. Many members of the community have left the area due to fear of increasing violence.

More than 200 temples have been targeted.

However, the court has refused to ban this global organization.
