Is Reading the Quran a Crime in India? Elderly Imam Brutally Attacked by Hindu Extremists on Train! (Viral Video)
Gangapur, 9 March – (www.deccanlive.com): In a shocking incident in Rajasthan, an elderly Imam was brutally attacked by Hindu extremists for reciting the Quran on a train. The attack took place near Gangapur City Railway Station when the Imam, a religious scholar from a madrasa, was traveling to Ankleshwar, Gujarat, to collect donations for his institution.
According to eyewitnesses, as soon as the Imam began reciting the Quran, a group of extremists started harassing him. Initially, they made insulting remarks, and then a woman provoked the crowd by calling him a “Pakistani.” Following this, the attackers physically assaulted him.
As a result of the attack, the Imam sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital, where his condition is reported to be critical. The incident has sparked outrage among the Muslim community, with locals strongly condemning the attack and demanding strict action against the perpetrators.
This tragic event highlights the growing intolerance against minorities, particularly in states governed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), where incidents of violence and hatred against Muslims have been on the rise. In the past, similar attacks, including mob lynchings over beef consumption and religious discrimination, have been reported.
The incident has led to widespread criticism of the government and law enforcement agencies, with many questioning whether the attackers will face justice or if the authorities will remain silent as they have in previous cases.
