The inflammatory comments have escalated tensions amidst communal sensitivities, drawing widespread condemnation from various quarters. Critics have denounced Singh's statements as incendiary and potentially exacerbating religious discord in the region.

The incident underscores ongoing communal tensions in India, where issues related to cows, considered sacred in Hinduism, often ignite passionate debates and occasionally lead to violent confrontations.

Ayesha Sadozai | 5 months ago | Reply Nothing at all seems to have changed in this third term of Modi BJP despite reduced majority in parliament. Muslims in India continue to remain the main scapegoats and targets for caste Hindus. Until and unless all the Indian Muslims unite and are fully trained and armed to defend themselves and are ready to respond against BJP threats they will continue to be victimized and slaughtered . This is a serious wake up call.
