Criminalizing Acts Of Fraternity In Today’s India!!!
Mohit Yadav could not have been ignorant about the social and political atmosphere in which namaz had become an offence in today's India! All over India, Muslims have been harrassed & even arrested for offering namaz publicly! Yet, #MohitYadav decided to stop the bus as an act of fraternity which cost him his life!
A public bus waited for 3 minutes! Buses can be stopped for secular reasons, such as using the toilet. But a minute of the public time cannot be wasted for the religious needs of Muslims!!!
Mohit thought that since the bus was stopped for a toilet break, that same time could also be used to accommodate the request for namaz!
One of the passengers noticed 2 Muslims praying while the bus waited for them. He filmed them and lodged a complaint against Mohit for interrupting the bus journey, causing inconvenience to other passengers!!!

#GhosiByElection: Muslim Voters Allege Missing Names From Voters List!!!
Muslims in several wards complained that they were finding it difficult to find their names on the voters list!!! Though they had their voters identity cards and Aadhaar card, they found that their names were missing!!!
Villagers in Fatehpur Narja Tal also alleged that Circle Officer (CO) Vineet Singh allegedly deprived Muslim voters from using their franchise. Singh, they alleged, was driving voters away by snatching voter ID cards & Aadhaar cards!!!
"Even after having four ID cards, we were not allowed to go inside polling booths. Muslim people were identified by cops and made to wait separately and then were told to go home. The CO Vineet Singh snatched our voter slips and IDs and threatened to take legal action against us. When we resisted, he used force. He said he would not let us vote & asked us to go home. He also said that he would put us in jail if we come back to vote again," a Muslim voter alleged!!!

Why Muslims of Bengal Are Becoming Disenchanted With Trinamool Politics!!!
Following her victory in 2021 elections, Mamata Banerjee changed her stance & became less outspoken on a number of issues pertaining to Muslim justice and rights!!!
In the past two years, number of atrocities committed against Muslims in West Bengal have multiplied!
Anis Khan, a student activist, died after being pursued by police last year! Anis Khan's family blamed the police, but the state government avoided responsibility by scapegoating some lower-ranking police officers!!!
Then, the heinous Bogtui massacre occurred during which, over 4 Muslim homes were torched and 12 Muslims were burned to death!!! CM Mamata has remained silent or has been less vocal!!!
Even during #HijabBan issue, Mamata Banerjee maintained a strategic silence! In the wake of such violence, the Muslims in Bengal are feeling abandoned by the ruling party and the administration!
