Persecution against Indian Muslims must called out: British MP Steve Baker

The anger against prosecution of Indian Muslims by the BJP led government is growing fast all around the world. Whether it’s  the suppression of basic rights of Kashmiris, the enactment discriminatory  law -CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act ) , use of brutal force against Muslims during  Delhi pogrom or arbitrary arrests of Jamia Millia students  , the world community has  started taking notice and is telling the rightwing ruling dispensation   in a very clear term to ‘stop  prosecution of Muslims in India  immediately .

The United Nations Human Rights Office, European Union lawmakers, OIC, U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF)etc.  have   categorically condemned the BJP led governments discriminatory policies against Muslims in recent past.

Joining the chorus the British Parliamentarian Steve Baker has come down heavily on BJP government for its anti-Muslims polices and called for its immediate stop prosecution of Muslims in India.

Addressing an online conference of British parliamentarians for the first time in Britain’s History on the



current situation and gross human rights violations amidst COVID-19 in Indian Kashmir the British parliamentarian Steve Baker said ‘There is ample evidence of the persecution of Muslims in India. It is outrageous and it should be called out as outrageous by governments around the world. So this is not to attack or criticize the people of India it’s to say that this government of India is pursuing a policy of religious nationalism and evidently persecuting Muslims and that must stop, it must be called out and I think I’m calling it out and appealing to the UN to uphold the rights for which it was established”.

Sharing the video of Steve Baker on twitter the renowned Kuwaiti lawyer,  rights activist and director of International Human Rights Mejbal Al Sharika  has warned Indian government  and wrote ‘The civilised world is running out of patience at the discrepancies of the ruling Hindutva regime. This is serious.

Sharika has opened a front against the Modi government and has even volunteered to adopt the cause of Indian Muslims before the United Nations Human Rights Council.
