New Delhi: In a chilling display of communal bias, a police officer in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, was caught using a smartphone to falsely label a Muslim man as a ‘Bangladeshi’, sparking widespread outrage.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the incident that took place in Ghaziabad, UP, is just the latest example of how India’s institutions have been poisoned by Hindutva ideology.<\/p>\n
The video, which has gone viral, shows the officer using the phone to ‘identify’ the man, Muhammad Sadiq, as an ‘illegal immigrant’. Sadiq, a resident of Araria, Bihar, was left shaken by the experience.<\/p>\n
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi slammed the incident, saying it’s a clear case of communal bias and hatred. ‘The same device should be put on the cop’s head to see if his first floor has a cerebrum,’ he tweeted.<\/p>\n
Opposition parties are demanding judicial intervention, linking the incident to a broader pattern of harassment of Bengali-speaking Muslims in BJP-ruled states.<\/p>\n
This is not an isolated incident, but a symptom of a larger disease that has infected India’s institutions. The police, meant to protect citizens, are now being used to target minorities.<\/p>\n
The Congress has demanded judicial intervention, saying such incidents have become a daily occurrence in Uttar Pradesh. Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale called it a ‘cutting-edge innovation’ and demanded action against the officers involved.<\/p>\n
The Aam Aadmi Party termed it ‘another feat of Uttar Pradesh’s ‘Thaay-Thaay’ police’.<\/p>\n
The Ghaziabad incident is a stark reminder of the dangers of Hindutva ideology and its impact on India’s institutions. It’s time to speak out against this hate and demand accountability from those in power.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
