Recently, a video went viral showing two Indian policemen beating a group of Muslim protestors.
A member of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Shalabh Tripathi, first shared the video. The caption for the video was “a return gift for the rebels“.
During the video, Muslim men are seen crying out for mercy and begging the police not to beat them. They were saying, “Please, it hurts, no sir, no sir.“
24-year-old Saif appears in the video wearing a white coat. The Muslim man was detained along with dozens of others last week.
Last Friday, he left home around 5 p.m. local time to book a bus ticket for a friend before being arrested by police, according to his family. Saif wasn’t even involved in the protest, and they said he was innocent. The video has not been responded to by party officials.
Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal, members of the BJP, made inflammatory remarks about the Prophet Mohammad that triggered violent protests across India last Friday. Jindal was expelled and Sharma suspended.
In Ranchi, eastern India, last Friday, two teenagers were killed by police who opened fire on Muslim protestors. The Hindu community also protested. Both police and rioters could have been involved.
Authorities demolished the homes of a few protesters in Saharanpur.
At the moment, the ruling party has asked its members not to mention religion in public, but experts say that this controversy has only muddied the waters both domestically and internationally for India.

What a shame these two members of the ruling BJP brought to the nation. What did they gain from the abusive comments on the most revered personality in the world? Did it enhance their esteem or that of the ruling regime? Interesting thing is that the regime, though removed from their portfolios, has not been arrested. FIRs have been registered at various places but the ruling regime has not made it possible to arrest them. Since there were the spokespersons of the regime, it is believed that what they said was said after clearance from the respective authorities. This is the reason the regime doing everything to protect them from legal action. This severely tells upon the credibility of the regime.
You are absolutely correct. Those who don’t practice their own Hinduism. Then what right they have insulting others. Indian Governments double standard is destroying democracy of India. Simple solution is advocate to live in peace & harmony. India can be great once again.
