- An Indian Imam has been brutally attacked by a Hindutva mob in Raipur, echoing “Jai Shri Ram” and demanding allegiance from him.
- Escalating aggression towards Muslim leaders raises concerns, with many tying India’s recent emboldened actions to Israel’s onslaught of Palestinians.
An Imam has fallen victim to a brutal assault orchestrated by a Hindutva mob in Raipur, Chattisgarh state. Amidst the violence, they fervently chanted slogans such as, “Jai Shri Ram” and asserted, “If you want to live in India, you have to say Jai Shri Ram” all transpiring in the presence of security forces.
The Muslim community has faced targeted aggression from Hindutva mobs, particularly intensifying following the inauguration of a Hindu temple on Monday at the historic site of the demolished Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.
In the circulated video on social media, the young Imam is visibly injured, sporting a busted and bloody lip.
Hindutva extremists are evidently targeting leaders within the Muslim community, aiming to undermine their influence and dismantle the pillars of the community.
Furthermore, the atrocities committed by the Hindutva mob, appear to have intensified following recent events in Gaza. Speculation has arisen, linking India’s heightened emboldened actions to Israel’s unaccounted for genocidal actions against Palestinians.
