A report by Amnesty International that was issued on Wednesday, described the situation of Muslims being slaughtered in India as “deeply worrying.”
The report criticized Prime Minister Modi and his BJP party for not condemning attacks on Muslims and, in fact, “even
justified the attacks at times.”
“The Indian Prime Minister, senior BJP leaders and Chief Ministers must break their silence and unequivocally
condemn the attacks,” the article quoted Aakar Patel,executive director of Amnesty International India, as saying in
a statement.
A report by the Mumbai-based Center for Study of Society and Secularism and the UK-based Minority Rights Group International, to be published soon, noted a notable increase in
hostility towards India’s religious minorities since Modi came to
power in 2014 and began to actively promote Hindu nationalism.
On Eid-ul-Fitr, Muslim across the India offered prayers while wearing a black band to protest the killing of Junaid and
the growing atrocities against Muslim which, the opinion article said, have been increasing since Modi took charge.
“And while the list grows longer every day, the violence against Muslims and cow-vigilante groups have not elicited a single tweet of condemnation from India’s social media savvy prime minister, who is quick to condemn atrocities all over the world,” the report said.
