Hate speech targeting Muslims, women and minorities flood channels. Where does the impunity come from?

The victims, identified as residents of Rajasthan, were allegedly set ablaze on the suspicion of 'cow smuggling' by vigilantes, who were members of the Bajrang Dal. The Bajrang Dal Haryana state unit’s Monu Manesar has denied the allegation.  

The event was organised by the supporters of self-proclaimed godman Dhirendra Shastri.

In a demonstration at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar on February 5, supporters of the Sudarshan TV head said that the Supreme Court's critical observations on his 2021 public exhortation to “die for and kill” to make India a “Hindu nation" was "legal harassment".

The victim alleged that among those who assaulted him were aides of former BJP MLA Raghvendra Pratap Singh, who has made headlines recently due to his many documented instances of hate speech against Muslims.
