Notably, there have been widespread protest across India against the two suspended BJP leaders over their ‘insulting’ remarks on Prophet Mohammad.
In Assam, section 144 CrPC has been imposed in least four districts, including the three Barak Valley districts of Cachar, Hailakandi and Karimganj where there is a sizeable Muslim population.
Although Nupur Sharma’s remarks were made as an official spokesperson of the BJP, during a TV show, the BJP, later on, distanced itself from her statement stating that her views did not reflect the views of the party.
Several cases were also filed against Sharma for her comments and Maharashtra Police as well as Kolkata Police have summoned her in connections cases filed against her.
