More Mosques and Shrines Demolished in Gujarat Under Modi Govt

Several mosques and shrines have been demolished in Gujarat, an Indian state governed by the BJP, according to media reports.

According to Hindustan Gazette, three mosques and several shrines were demolished in the Kutch district over the past few days.

Local residents and members of the community claimed that no advance notice was given before the demolition took place.

The report also said that some Muslims who asked authorities to explain the demolitions were allegedly threatened with serious consequences.

According to Hindustan Gazette, 25 young people who protested against the demolitions were arrested and sent to jail.

International human rights organisation Human Rights Watch has previously expressed concern about the treatment of religious minorities in India and has criticised discrimination against Muslims.

Some analysts say the recent demolitions have increased concerns about the protection of minority rights and religious places in the country. The issue has once again sparked debate over the rights and safety of religious minorities in India.
