Itanagar: Muslims in Arunachal Pradesh were forced to chant \u2018Bharat Mata ki Jai\u2019 and threatened with mosque demolitions in the BJP-ruled state.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, a video circulating on social media shows leaders of the Arunachal Pradesh Indigenous Youth Organisation (APIYO), aligned with Hindutva ideology, aggressively confronting Muslim ulema and threatening to demolish a mosque in the Itanagar Capital Region (ICR).<\/p>\n
The footage has sparked widespread outrage, exposing a worrying rise in anti-Muslim sentiment in Northeast India, particularly under the BJP government.<\/p>\n
The video depicts APIYO General Secretary Tapor Meying and President Taro Sonam Liyak at the contested mosque site. In a tense exchange, Liyak questions a maulana. He targets Islam and holy Quran.<\/p>\n
The situation escalates when Liyak attempts to coerce the maulana into chanting \u201cBharat Mata ki Jai,\u201d asserting the Hindutva slogan: \u201cDo you people say \u2018Bharat Mata ki Jai\u2019? If you cannot say it, how can you be true Indians?\u201d<\/p>\n
This episode is not isolated but part of APIYO\u2019s month-long campaign targeting Muslim religious sites. On November 17, APIYO activists issued a five-day ultimatum for the demolition of a Jamia Masjid, threatening to launch a \u201cdemocratic movement\u201d if their demands were not met. A subsequent call for a 12-hour bandh on November 24 was deferred, but the group reiterated calls for banning weekly markets and razing mosques<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
