This has typically led to spiritual processions of Hindus being attacked and different Hindus being heckled, intimidated and even attacked within the course of. We have seen prior to now a number of Hindus being attacked as a result of they dared to cross by means of a “Muslim area” or when spiritual processions have been passing by means of mosques of a “Muslim area”.

In 2018, for instance, a younger Hindu boy Chandan Gupta was killed whereas taking out a Tiranga Yatra. At that point, “Liberals” and the media had blamed Chandan for his personal homicide, claiming that he was elevating “provocative slogans” like Bharat Mata ki Jai and Vande Mataram whereas crossing by means of a “Muslim area”. Essentially saying that Chandan was answerable for his personal homicide since he dared to move by means of an space which was dominated by Muslims and elevating slogans that they discovered “offensive”.

While Congress and Rahul Gandhi are pretending to stroll miles for a “Bharat Jodo Yatra”, his leaders appear to be dividing India by endorsing the thought of Muslim ghettos the place non-Muslims are liable to be attacked and abused.
