Blasphemy: Uproar After BJP officials insult Prophet Muhammad in India

Muslim countries like Qatar, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia have criticized what some leaders of India’s Bharatiya Janata Party have said about the Prophet Muhammad. At the same time, people in Muslim countries are calling for a boycott of Indian goods.
India’s ruling right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), according to TRT WORLD, has been hit diplomatically after two of its officials made insulting comments about Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. As a result, Qatar, Kuwait, and Iran called India’s envoys and several other Muslim countries were outraged and condemned the comments.
In a statement released on Sunday, the Qatari Foreign Ministry said that it had called the Indian ambassador to express Qatar’s disappointment, total rejection, and condemnation of the provocative comments.
According to a statement from the ministry, Qatari Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Soltan bin Saad Al Muraikhi handed a memorandum to the Indian envoy.
These derogatory words will encourage religious intolerance and outrage more than two billion Muslims around the world. Doha says that the Indian government should quickly apologize for these comments and say that they are wrong, according to the memo.
During a TV debate, Nupur Sharma, who is no longer with the BJP, said hurtful things about the Prophet and his wife, Ayesha. This caused a lot of anger in India and all over the Islamic world.
Naveen Kumal Jindal, another BJP spokesperson and the party’s Delhi media chief, was fired from the right-wing party after making insults about Prophet Muhammad on Twitter.
The Grand Mufti of Oman said that the official spokesman for the ruling extremist party in India’s rude and obscene comments about the Prophet of Islam and his pure wife Aisha are a war against every Muslim in the east and west of the world, and that all Muslims need to stand up as one nation.
Sheikh Al-Khalili has advocated an Arab boycott of Indian products.

It necessitates an apology on insulting Prophet Muhammad
Violence in an Indian state was blamed on what a spokesman for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party said last week, which led to calls for her arrest and anger in Muslim countries.
The BJP has distanced itself from their comments, claiming that Sharma has been suspended and Jindal has been expelled. In response to Doha’s demand for a public apology, India stated that the statements about Prophet Muhammad were made by fringe elements and did not reflect the government’s views.
The Muslim minority in the country has said that Modi’s party is unfair to them, but Modi’s party has said that it respects all religions.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which is based in Saudi Arabia, also said that the comments were insulting, but they didn’t say what the insult was. Instead, they said that they came at a time when intolerance and abuse of Muslims in India were on the rise, and that systematic actions were also being taken against Muslims.
Pakistan condemned the remarks in the strongest possible terms, according to a statement.
According to the statement, Pakistan has once again asked the rest of the world to pay attention to how quickly Islamophobia is getting worse in India.
Muslims are suffering under the BJP’s oppressive administration.
Since Modi’s election in 2014, Hindu mobs have killed dozens of people, mostly Muslims and Dalits, who were accused of unlawfully transporting cows or eating meat.
Hindu far-right groups have also gone after Muslims because of the conspiracy theory of love jihad. This is the idea that Muslims seduce Hindu women in order to convert them and take over their country.
Covid-19 has also been blamed on Muslims. In recent years, Hindu mobs in northern India have targeted Muslims praying on Fridays.
In the state of Karnataka, the BJP recently outlawed the wearing of the hijab in classrooms. Later, hardline Hindu groups urged that such restrictions be imposed in more Indian states. Far-right Hindu groups have lately turned their attention to Muslim mutton and fruit vendors.
Hindu crowds threw stones on mosques in many regions during a Hindu holiday earlier in April, while DJs blasted loud music outside the mosques as attendees prayed.
Hindu monks who are known for their hateful speech against Muslims have called for the Rohingya-style ethnic cleansing of Indian Muslims.
