Lucknow: Hindutva groups in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh have launched protests against a Muslim advocate’s recent property acquisition in a primarily Hindu neighborhood, escalating community tensions.
According to Kashmir Media Service, advocate Nadeem secured the property through an open bank auction. Despite the legal acquisition, his purchase has led to significant unrest, with local Hindutva factions staging protests outside his home and vocally opposing the presence of Muslims in the neighborhood.
The demonstrators have threatened Muslim families considering relocating to the area. In response to the mounting pressure and hostility, Nadeem is considering selling the property. This event is indicative of a broader pattern of religious discrimination in housing within BJP-governed states, contributing to an environment of increased religious intolerance. Such incidents underscore the challenges faced by minority communities in navigating residential spaces amidst prevailing communal tensions.
