Lynching, hate crimes mar two weeks of Modi’s 3rd term
Since the day Modi became Prime Minister for the 3rd term, Hindus have started taking revenge from Muslims by one way or the other. They are angry because it is alleged that the Muslims were responsible for not making the BJP's dream of “400 par” a reality
It has now been couple of weeks since the NDA government under Narendra Modi has taken oath for the third time. Since then, four Muslims from different Indian states have been beaten to death. Among the four, three lost their lives to cow vigilantes while the fourth was lynched to death on suspicion of theft.
They call Islam “cruel” for its punishment of cutting of hands of a person who commits theft but are fine with lynching a person for transportation of beef and mere suspicion of theft.
Chand Miya Khan, was 23-year-old, and lived in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. He was traveling from Saharanpur to Odisha with buffaloes in a truck when cow vigilantes beaten him to death on 7th June in Chhattisgarh's Raipur.
Guddu Khan was 35 years old and was a resident of Shamli, Uttar Pradesh. Guddu was traveling with Chand Miya in the same truck carrying buffaloes to Odisha when they were attacked.
They tried to contact their families several times while they were being beaten. During one of the calls, a family member heard them screaming and crying as the vigilantes attacked. This call lasted 47 minutes.
Saddam Qureshi was 23-year-old youth who lived in Saharanpur (UP) was cousin of Chand Miya. He was also beaten on the same day (June 7) by the cow vigilantes. Saddam suffered serious injuries during the attack. He remained in coma until his death on June 18 at Raipur’s Shri Balaji Super Speciality Hospital, without ever regaining consciousness.
Mohammad Farid, 35-years-old man was a resident of Aligarh. Farid, alias Aurangzeb, was attacked on suspicion of theft and succumbed to his injuries. Disturbing videos online show a group of men brutally beating him with lathis, punches, and kicks. Another video shows him lying lifeless on a hospital bed, his eyes hauntingly open.
Since the day Modi became Prime Minister for the 3rd term, Hindus have started taking revenge from Muslims by one way or the other. They are angry because it is alleged that the Muslims were responsible for not making the BJP's dream of “400 paar” a reality.
Interestingly, the BJP expected the Muslims to vote for the party even after Yogi and Modi calling the largest minority in the country different names and giving them warnings. While Yogi in one of his election campaign speeches warned “Musliman Azaan bhooll jaye ga” (Muslims will forget Adhaan), Modi called the 20 crore Indian Muslims “ghus-petiya (infiltrators)”.
After such hate campaigns, it was but obvious that the BJP will lose a huge Muslim vote and it did. But who will explain this to the Bhakts? All they wanted was by hook and crook make Modi Prime Minister again so that their aim of converting India into a Hindu Rashtra is fulfilled.
Eid ul Adha has been one of the worst phases for the Indian Muslims under the Modi rule. Hashtags such as #AllEyesOnbakra was trending. Suddenly, a lot of people became animal rights activists.
Albeit eating KFC for whole of the year they suddenly became animal lovers on Eid al Adha.
They have nothing to do with who does what but when it comes to Muslims they find everything very much interesting.
People who worship Kali also have practice of animal sacrifice and this goes on for whole year but no one bats an eye. But when its time for Muslims to do something each one of them come together to make sure that things are made horrible for Muslims.

Houses of Muslims were demolished just because they were holding beef in fridge. Rapists are getting payrolls and people who have beef in their refrigerators are finding their homes demolished.
A major role in these hate campaigns is played by the troll on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, having followers in lakhs. They don’t miss a second to keep things against Muslims.
It has often been seen that it’s they who build the narrative but they aren’t even touched because they campaign for BJP and support them in whatever they do.
If a Muslim will tweet what they tweet each day he or she would be arrested and slapped with stringent laws such as UAPA. Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khaild and many others continue to remain in jails just because they don’t have their thoughts matching with the BJP while as rape convict BJP supporters are getting easy payrolls.

A shop was attacked by mob because its owner has uploaded a video on WhatsApp, showing sacrifice of a calf. The Police present on the spot was watching them loot the shop.
We all remember what they did with the Shaheen Bagh protesters. “Goli maro saalo ko” slogans have again found place in anti-Muslim protests. The guy who introduced this slogan was a minster and continued to be one after raising the hate-slogans. Chief Ministers are being arrested but the guy who chanted this first is still out.
Everything is justified till it is against Muslims. You have full immunity against arrest if you are a Hindu with BJP support.
All the anti-Muslim propaganda is fully supported by the mainstream media which legalise every single act. They have shifted themselves from being news reporters to whitewashing machine of the BJP.
