Sadly there are bound to be more #MunawarFaruqui and UP conversion type cases. MoSha have kinda started a "So You Think You Can Fascist?" contest among regional BJP leaders to show who can showcase the most newsworthy anti-Muslim thing they can do. They're incentivized.
In the last 30 years, every single BJP leader who went all-in on hating or persecuting Muslims has had a thriving political career. Some went from obscurity to the parliament on the steam of their local anti muslim activities. With the media and courts complicit, don't see an end
On paper, Shivraj Chouhan did a better "development" job in once ramshackle MP than Modi in always-rich Gujarat. But he lost out to Modi internally for the PMship. This time around, Chouhan is way more focused on these kinds of anti muslim cases and stories and legislations.
What India calls "development", the rest of the world calls infrastructure and that difference tells you a lot.
So we all are tearing our hair out, how can you arrest a comedian, that too for something he never said, and keep him jailed for weeks.
The BJP guy is saying internally, see, I got this muslim fella rotting in jail for something he wasn't even planning on saying! Pick me!
