Prophet Comment: Protest In Delhi

A large number of minority community members gathered outside the Jama Masjid. The crowd raised slogans against suspended BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) leaders over their recent controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed.

Placards against the former BJP spokespersons Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal were displayed on the stairs outside the Jama Masjid.

The protest was staged soon after the Friday prayers. The protesters were demanding the immediate arrest of the suspended BJP leaders. It is pertinent to mention here that an FIR was also lodged against Nupur Sharma and several others for their alleged hate remarks during a debate on a TV news channel.

"We have lodged the FIR against those spreading hate messages, inciting various groups, and creating situations detrimental to maintaining public tranquility.

"One case has been registered against Nupur Sharma, and another one has been registered against multiple social media entities based on the analysis. Notices will be sent to the social media intermediaries for the details." Delhi Police PRO Suman Nalwa had said on Thursday.
