Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, August 2, Haryana Chief Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar, in the wake of the Nuh violence, started by Muslim rioters, who attacked Hindus taking part in an annual procession carried out by the VHP, said that it is not possible for the state police to protect each and every individual, keeping in mind the population of Haryana.

He also appealed for peace in the state, wherein violence first erupted in Nuh of the Mewat region, and then spread to Gurugram as well. Khattar asserted that those found involved in the violence will not be spared and strict action against the rioters will be taken. The Haryana CM added that 116 people have been arrested, and 90 detained since Monday’s clashes.

Further, Khattar sought four additional companies of central forces, and said that one battalion of the IRB will be deployed in Nuh. 20 companies of central forces are already deployed in Haryana, out of which 14 of them are in Nuh, 3 in Palwal, 2 in Gurugram, and 1 in Faridabad.

When asked about Monu Manesar, he added that his government will assist the Rajasthan Police to arrest him.
