On January 29 (local time) members of the Indian diaspora in London staged a protest against BBC outside its headquarters over releasing a documentary wrongly accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the Gujarat Riots 2002 when he was Chief Minister of the state. The protesters stated that the narrative BBC tried to set could create tension between Indian Hindu and Muslim communities based in London.
A radical Youtuber named Shakeel Afsar reached the spot and began hurling abuses to the Indian diaspora there. He labelled them all as ‘Terrorists’ and ‘BJP’ (supporters). He further said in his video which he proudly flaunted online, “I apologize for my language but they deserve much more.”
When the protestors tried to talk to him calmly he shrugged it off and insulted them.
Surprisingly, Instagram on which the videos Shakeel Afsar himself uploaded put it up for more than 6 hours. In yet another video he spreads hate based on false allegation against the Hindu community.
In his recent Instagram story he calls the Hindus a part of a ‘Cult’ and says that, “We do not care if you are asking counter terrorism because the real terrorists are the people who stand by the Modi administration who are butchers of Gujarat, butchers of India and the butchers of Kashmir.”
Shakeel ‘protests’ for a ‘Free Kashmir’ and shields his violence and radicalism under the unscathed armour of ‘Islamophobia’.
