Indian Muslims in serious danger, Leading American daily exposed reality of PM Modi led BJP government

NEW DELHI – Indian Muslims in serious danger, Leading American dailyexposed reality of PM Modi led BJP government.

The American daily newspaper *“Los Angeles Times”* exposed the reality ofIndian Modi-led government, saying that the Muslims are in serious dangerin India.

According to report of US newspaperlink,the frightened Muslims have been forced to leave their area in Indianstate. The police force uses the power in Muslim-majority areas anduniversities. “Muslims are being harmed,” the report added.

In the report, when Indian police barged into the university library whereRohool Banka was studying, the 25-year-old student, a self-described proudMuslim, decided his best chance of survival was to pretend he was Hindu.

“In the name of God, let me go,” he told the police — but he intentionallyused a word Hindus use for god, bhagwan, instead of the Muslim Allah.

The ruse didn’t work. Banka and other Muslim students in the library saidofficers told them to recite the kalima — a statement of faith in Islam,often said before one dies — during a crackdown in which police fired teargas, assaulted students with batons and left more than 100 injured.

The Dec 15 incident at Jamia Millia Islamia, a New Delhi university with aMuslim-majority student body, has served as a major flashpoint in deadlyunrest that has gripped large parts of India for almost two weeks.
