On June 10th after Friday prayer the BC, Muslim community and Local Medias did rally in front of Indian Visa and Application Centre at Scott Road, Surrey, against the Nupur Sharma, who made comments during a televised debate on an Indian news channel on May 26th about the Prophet Mohammed (SAW) that were widely deemed offensive and Islamophobic. The protesters showed their anger against the Blasphemy (SAW).
The United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Oman, and Iraq are among at least 20
Muslim-majority nations to have condemned the remarks, which were described as “Islamophobic,” with several countries summoning India’s ambassadors.
“The incident sparked protests in Pakistan and prompted calls from around the region to boycott Indian goods.
At the center of the controversy is Nupur Sharma, now suspended national spokesperson for the BJP – the party of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Most Indian news outlets have not directly quoted Sharma’s original comments. Sharma later withdrew her remarks and said it was never her intention to “hurt anyone’s religious feelings.” On Twitter, Sharma said her words were a response to derogatory comments made during the debate about a Hindu god. “If my words have caused discomfort or hurt religious feelings of anyone whatsoever, I hereby unconditionally withdraw my statement,” she said.
Another BJP spokesperson, Naveen
Jindal, who has since been expelled, had also made comments about the Prophet on social media. “The Bharatiya Janata Party is also strongly against any ideology which insults or demeans any sect or religion. The BJP does not promote such people or philosophy,” the party said in a statement on June 5 without directly referring to the comments from Sharma or Jindal.”
