New Delhi, Feb 29: The arsonists, who were allegedly hired by the pro-CAA politicians in Delhi to unleash violence against Muslims, did not even spare the residence of Border Security Force personnel Mohammed Anees.
While the jawan, who has spent three years guarding the borders along Jammu and Kashmir, had hoped that his job profile mentioned on the nameplate hung outside their two-storey house would discourage the vandals, he was proved wrong.
The nameplate on house number 76 in Khas Khajuri Gali clearly mentioned it was the property of a security force personnel who protects India’s borders from foreign invasions. Yet, it was burned down on the afternoon of February 25.
First, the ruthless goons set the vehicles parked outside the jawan’s house on fire, then they torched his home. Stones were also pelted at his house amid slogans of “idhar aa Pakistani, tujhe naagarikta dete hai” (Come here Pakistani, get your citizenship).
Apart from Anees, his father Mohammed Moonis, 55, uncle Mohd Ahmed, 59, and 18-year-old cousin Niha Parveen were in the house. Sensing what was about to go down next, they all escaped from the house, and were helped by paramilitary troops.
Charred remains of the house now stand where the house was till three days ago. In the two lanes of Khajuri Khas near Anees’s house, 35 houses were set on fire.
The loss suffered by the BSF soldier’s family was perhaps greater as they had kept all their life’s savings inside: two weddings in the family were to take place in the next three months.
Niha Parveen was to get married in April and Anees himself was to get married the following month. “All the things we collected all our life, jewellery – two gold necklaces, silver jewellery, it is all gone,” the family said.
“We used to buy jewellery on instalments… used to give money every month and collected this jewellery,” they said. Rs 3 lakh in cash for the wedding arrangements also got burnt along with other valuables and all their belongings.
Khajuri Khas is a Hindu-majority area, but Anees’s family says no neighbour of theirs was involved in the attack. “People came from outside.” Instead, their Hindu neighbours were asking the rioters to leave. They requested them to leave and helped douse the vehicles on fire.

When poor people are killing daily they all are sleeping.
But when RSS goons are killed by gang war, they supporting that Goons. Because BJP- itself is a RSS Goons-Terrorists Party.
It is not bjp mps meeting it is the only rss announced meeting. By the support of media their rest of all ongoing meeting never came out or anounced. Why there is so much importat for rss group why not important given to INDIAN citizens life . Rss people daily taking innocent INDAIN citizens life all arround INDIA for NO reason.
Why our PM isdoing double standard. Where ever he go and speak he omit poison with castism. Attacking on minority Dalits. No the bjp criminal leaders forget democracy recently they were trying to de stabilize.. no bjp state government all over INDIA. Means they are playing against INDIAN citizens mandate. Insulting our great freedom fighter even they comparing MAHATMA GANDHI with their low grade rss people. Who never participated for INDIA's independence strugle. Our pm never respect human life even he did
not taken care of his wife then what he will take care of us . One who supporting this group must think and compare common man's life and security after INDEPENDENCE with present bjp govt's rule. Always fighting communal clash financial crise ; scarcity of food ; increase in common food items rate.
What will happen till next election - Only GOD have to save us from this dirty organization.
Jai Hind !
