A procession celebrating Eid Milad-un-Nabi in Madhya Pradesh, India, was reportedly attacked by extremist groups. The incident, which involved stone-throwing and physical assault, has led to heightened tensions in the area.
According to local sources, attackers chanting "Jai Shri Ram" targeted the Muslim procession with sticks and stones. The event resulted in multiple injuries, including harm to women and children. Community members expressed distress over the violence and questioned the selective application of law enforcement measures.
This attack follows a separate incident five days prior, where preparations for the festival were disrupted. During that event, a mosque was reportedly damaged, and property belonging to the Muslim community, including motorcycles, was set on fire.
The incidents have sparked discussions about the safety of minority communities in India, particularly Muslims. Human rights organizations are being called upon to address these concerns.
These events occur against a backdrop of growing tensions between majority and minority communities in various parts of India, with critics pointing to the need for stronger protections for minority rights.
