India's Hindu nationalist govt refuses to arrest ruling party leaders who insulted Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

By The South Asia Times report 

 

NEW DELHI: Indian Hindu nationalist government of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) refused to arrest its two leaders who insulted to Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

 

In a latest video, BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, who made derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), said that Indian Home Minister Amit Shah called her and assured her that no action will be taking against her.

 

“I am thankful to the government and home minister Amit Shah, who called me and assured full protection [against Muslims],” she said.

 

On Sunday, the Indian government attempted to Cool down the anger spread among the Muslims across the world and said BJP suspended both leaders.

 

However, Sharma's video shows that the Indian government tried to deceive the Muslim countries through its false assurance to take action against Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal.

 

 

On Monday, India Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi also threatened the OIC, and said New Delhi categorically rejects OIC Secretariat's unwarranted and narrow-minded comments.

 

 

“It is regrettable that OIC Secretariat has yet again chosen to make motivated, misleading and mischievous comments. This only exposes its divisive agenda being pursued at the behest of vested interests,” said the Indian foreign ministry spokesman. 

 

They accused the Muslim bloc of pursuing its communal approach and showing due respect to all faiths and religions.

 

The statement apparently reflects India’s toxic Islamophobic Hindutva ideology,  still refused to accept that ruling Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Modi and its party promoting hatred against Muslim in India. 

 

OIC in its statement condemned and denounced the recent denigration of Prophet Muhammad by an official of #India's ruling party and said these cases of defamation are part of a growing spate of hatred & defamation of Islam in India.

 

 

OIC is the second largest inter-governmental organization after the UN with 57 Muslim states. 

 

 

The Muslim bloc slammed India and its systematic practices against Muslims in the Hindu majority South Asian country, particularly in light of a set of decisions to prohibit the use of hijab in educational institutions in some Indian states, including demolition of Muslims' properties and growing violence against them.

 

 

 

“The General Secretariat calls on the international community, in particular, the United Nations mechanisms and the Human Rights Council's special measures, to take necessary measures to challenge practices targeting Muslims in #India," said the OIC. 

 

 

OIC also called on New Delhi to take decisive actions against those who insulted to Holy Prophet and address these incidents of defamation and all forms of insult to the noble Prophet and Islam and to bring those who incite and perpetrate violence against Muslims to justice and hold those behind them accountable.

 

 

“It also calls on the Indian authorities to ensure the safety, security and well-being Muslims in #India and protect their rights as well as religious and cultural identity, dignity and places of worship,” said OIC. 

 

Last month, BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal insulted Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during a live TV show that spread anger among Muslims worldwide.

 

Muslim leaders in India had filed a complaint against Sharma and Kumar with police and demanded to arrest them but Prime Minister Modi’s government protect their party leaders and police are unable to arrest them. 

 

Since Friday, protests, and clashes have been underway in India against the BJP government and their leaders who are protecting the blasphemous persons.
