Muslim students threatened Hindu girls, warning, “Wear a hijab, or we will rape you”

Eyewitnesses reported that while opposing the Diwali celebration, Muslim students threatened Hindu female students, warning them, “Wear a hijab, or we will rape you.” They also kicked over the lamps and destroyed the rangoli.

The administration remained silent – Students allege

Angry Hindu students claimed that senior university officials were present during the unrest but did not intervene to stop the violence. Despite students being injured, the university administration remained silent throughout the incident.

Editorial Perspectives

• The mentality of the university is evident from its name itself.
• Hindus are unable to celebrate their festivals in Islamic universities; however, Muslim festivals are celebrated in Hindu universities. Not only that, but even iftar feasts are organised in Hindu temples. Hindus must realise that this suicidal idea of secularism will destroy them.
