Hindu extremist assaults elderly Muslim man in Uttar Pradesh
Lucknow: In a disturbing incident, a Hindu extremist brutally attacked an elderly Muslim beggar in the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh state.
According to Kashmir Media Service, a video footage circulating on social media shows a Hindu man mercilessly attacking the beggar with sticks in Amethi city, as he pleaded for help in a neighbourhood predominantly inhabited by Hindus.
The video, which has garnered widespread attention online, depicts the elderly man, visibly distressed, being confronted and assaulted. The aggressor is heard abusing the beggar, insisting he refrain from returning to the area.
“You Muslims have no right to be here,” the attacker shouts, showcasing a blatant disregard for human dignity.
The shocking incident has sparked widespread outrage and concerns about communal tensions and the treatment of vulnerable individuals.
Unfortunately, this incident is not an isolated one. There have been reports of similar attacks on Muslims and other minority groups in India, often fueled by hateful rhetoric and discriminatory policies. These incidents have created a climate of fear and intimidation, making it difficult for minorities to feel safe and protected.
