Haridwar: Indian police arrested eight Muslim vendors for offering ‘namaz’ at a weekly market in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar, Indian police said.
In Uttar Pradesh, India, police showered flower petals on Hindu Karwariyas walking on a busy road from a helicopter.
Same police force put Muslims in jail if they offer Namaz on roadside. In recent past India witnessed a sudden rise in protest by Hindu right wings against the Muslims offering Friday Namaz in open. In videos, same UP police can be seen using force to thrash Muslims who offered Namaz on roads in UP.
Eight street vendors who were arrested by the Haridwar police for offering namaz at a public place were not criminals. Those arrested were residents of Jwalapur area and they were offering namaz at a weekly market in Shivalik Nagar. According to reports, the vendors used to sell vegetables in the local market that falls under the Ranipur police station limits.
This is height of hypocrisy by India state institutions as well as general masses. For same action, there are two different reactions, based on community you belong.
If a Muslim offered a religious practice in open, he is considered as culprit and police will immediately arrest him. But if same is done by Hindus, they are showered with flower petals. Humanity should speak against such double standards in India. World community must raise its voice, urging India to stop such hypocritical practices. Web Desk
