Islamabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing allegations of systematically promoting Hindutva policies in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of India, amid rising concerns over policy-driven religious discrimination.
According to Kashmir Media Service, a new report criticizes the Modi administration for its handling of religious minorities in India, particularly Muslims. The report claims that the government’s actions, supported by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), are oppressive towards those opposing the Hindutva agenda. It highlights the misuse of investigative agencies and legal systems to intimidate dissenters and alleges increased persecution of Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, and lower-caste Hindus since the BJP took power.
The analysis in the report also condemns the actions taken by the Indian government on August 5, 2019, in Jammu and Kashmir, describing them as part of a broader attempt to transform India into a Hindu-majority state and calling for international attention to these issues.
