NEW DELHI
\nVideos from a village in Indian state of Uttar Pradesh show locals slapping and harassing three Muslim fakirs (ascetics) who were begging for alms. Videos shared on social media show the men being forced to do sit ups and chant \u2018Jai Shri Ram\u2019.
\nAccording to Indian media, the incident occurred in Degur village in Gonda area. \u201cThey wear the clothes of sadhus but they will eat biriyani with this money,\u201d another is heard saying. Videos show one man, armed with a large stick, demand identification from the fakirs.
\nWhen they say they do not have any, he calls them \u201cjihadis\u201d and \u201cterrorists\u201d. \u201cJust show us your Aadhaar, or we will thrash the stuffing out of you\u2026 All of you are \u2018terrorists\u2019\u2026 Carry your Aadhaar at all times,\u201d he says, according to media. One of the perpetrators has been arrested by the police, the news channel\u2019s website reported.
\nIn a separate incident, a man identified as Tushar Shukla was seen harassing a Muslim shopkeeper in Kanpur. Shukla, who is apparently the Yuva Morcha president of the \u2018Hindu Coordination Committee\u2019, tries to force the shopkeeper to stop selling clothes on the road. The man has been arrested.
\nIndia has been at the centre of a diplomatic backlash after two BJP leaders made blasphemous comments against Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). Condemnations issued by several West Asian and Islamic countries heaped pressure on the BJP, which suspended Nupur Sharma and expelled Naveen Kumar Jindal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
