\"\"New Delhi: Hatred and discrimination against Muslims in India have intensified under the influence of Hindutva ideology.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, critics argue that during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s tenure, growing incidents of violence, discrimination, hate speech, and derogatory behavior toward minorities, particularly Muslims, have reflected the impact of Hindutva-driven policies.<\/p>\n

A report published by the Indian daily Hindustan Times highlighted a recent incident in Rajasthan in which BJP leader Sukhbir Singh Jaunpuria refused to distribute relief material to Muslim women.<\/p>\n

The report stated that during a relief distribution program, Jaunpuria separated Muslim women from other beneficiaries and said that he was unconcerned if his actions caused offense. He also reportedly remarked that those who criticize Prime Minister Modi have no right to receive relief assistance.<\/p>\n

The affected women told Hindustan Times that when the BJP leader learned of their religious identity, he reacted angrily and asked that the distributed relief items be returned.<\/p>\n

Analysts say that rising incidents of prejudice and hostility toward minorities in India reflect the growing influence of the extremist Hindu Rashtra narrative, while critics contend that such developments raise serious questions about the BJP\u2019s policies toward Muslim communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
