ISLAMABAD - The protest demonstrations have erupted in Srinagar seeking the arrest of a Hindutva supporter Prathamesh Shinde who made blasphemous re­marks against Holy Prophet Muham­mad (PBUH). A 20-year-old student from Mahar­ashtra at the National Institute of Tech­nology (NIT), Srinagar had posted de­rogatory content on the social media which triggered protests. The Jammu and Kashmir Police has also booked the student but the Indian authorities are avoiding to arrest the accused. The Islamophobia is growing in the Indian society and Hindutva support­ers are using it as a political tool. The sane elements on the social me­dia urged the United Nations, Organi­sation of Islamic Cooperation and the international community to pressure the Modi government for taking ac­tion against the Hindutva supporter for committing blasphemy.
