Jaipur: An elderly Muslim man was brutally assaulted by Hindutva goons on a train while reciting the Quran in BJP-ruled Rajasthan state of India.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the incident occurred when the victim, an Imam at a mosque, was traveling from Gangapur city in Rajasthan to Ankleshwar in Gujarat to collect donations for his madrassa.<\/p>\n

Family members of the victim stated that a group of people boarded the train at the same station as the Imam and began making offensive remarks about Muslims. A woman called the elderly man Pakistani, which escalated the situation.<\/p>\n

The Ticket Collector asked the Imam to move near the gate, where two men slapped him, and the woman also slapped him. The attackers made false allegations against the Imam and recorded a video of the assault.<\/p>\n

The Imam pleaded for mercy, saying, “I’m an elderly man. Please forgive me.” However, the attackers continued to hit him, removing his skullcap and slapping him several times.<\/p>\n

The incident highlights the plight of Muslims across India, particularly in BJP-ruled states, where Muslims and minorities face brutalities on a daily basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
