Mob kills man over beef in shocking hate attack
More than 20 attack Naseem Qureshi
Naseem Qureshi was allegedly surrounded and beaten to death by a mob of over 20 people. The brutal assault stemmed from beef-related tensions, as several Indian states restrict beef sale and consumption due to religious sensitivities.
Cows sacred, tensions high
In Hinduism, cows are sacred animals. This has sparked violent attacks against those suspected of slaughtering cows for meat or leather. Minority Muslims and lower caste groups, often targeted, bear the brunt of these brutal acts.
Modi’s Hindu nationalism under fire
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government faces criticism for stoking Hindu nationalist fervour. His party is accused of promoting Hindu superiority and exploiting religious issues to rally Hindu voters. This has paved the way for extremist groups to flourish.
Bigotry over politics in Bihar
The attack in Bihar stands out. The state is ruled by a regional party, not Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or the opposition, suggesting this horrendous crime was fueled by communal hatred rather than political agendas.
