The video depicts Muslim minors being attacked and forced to chant ‘Jai Shriram’. It raises the question, “Why has no action been taken against these criminals ?” However, it remains unclear whether the video is genuine or edited.

Ram the deity must hang his head in shame & watch helplessly as minor Muslim boys are whacked with chappals only because they refuse to chant his name. Hindutva is a disease thats afflicted millions of Indians & sullied a Gods name. https://t.co/NPpUBdYs2m

This incident has sparked significant debate, highlighting the need for careful investigation and balanced discourse.

Editorial Perspectives

• If such a statement had been made about Islam, it would likely have triggered a global uproar, with extreme reactions, including calls for Sar-Tan-Se-Juda. However, the lack of significant attention or condemnation towards this statement made against Hindus by a Muslim woman highlights a concerning double standard.

• By now, a case should have been registered against Iltija, and appropriate legal action should have been taken. However, the lack of any significant response highlights a troubling passivity among Hindus when it comes to protecting their religious sentiments and addressing such inflammatory remarks.
