After Muslim mobs caused chaos in Nagpur, Vicky Kaushal and Chaava are being used as convenient scapegoats to downplay the Islamist penchant for street violence.
While Aurangzeb’s fanbois come up with some or the other excuse to justify mob violence and arson, this is not just a reaction to a suspiciously convenient rumour, rather, it is a calculated strategy to silence Hindus, psychologically bludgeon them into submission.
The eyewitness accounts of the violence revealed the violent mobs consisting of thousands of people with their faces covered went around on a rampage vandalising properties and torching vehicles while chanting Islamic slogans of “Allahu Akbar” and “Labaik-Ya-Rasool-Allah”.
On 17th March, tensions flared in Nagpur, Maharashtra, as violence erupted over rumours, including the burning of a copy of the Quran and a photograph, during a protest by Hindu groups demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb in Sambhaji Nagar.
