What is ‘I Love Muhammad’ controversy?

Last week, protests are taking place in various cities of the country in the name of “I love Muhammad”. People are provoking. Violence occurs in many places. Young children are forced to the streets. Police officers are threatened by cutting their hands. And the most shocking thing about all this is that this religious dispute, which started in Kanpur, is now reaching Karachi. How is the trend of “I love Muhammad” in Pakistan?

This is an Indian issue, but the poison is spreading from Pakistan. Pakistani fundamentalists should have nothing to do with India’s internal affairs. However, their aim is to provoke rebellions in India in the name of religion. They want to pit Muslims against Hindus. This is the same as Pakistan, who gives the slogan “separating the head and the body”. They see an opportunity in this dangerous campaign of the fundamentalists living in India. Therefore, they are trying to provoke.

The fundamentalists there add fuel to the fire. And here, some fundamentalists mislead people in the name of religion, provoke them and take them to the streets. The foundations in Pakistan threaten to shout in their chests “I love Muhammad” (I love Muhammad). And a fundamentalist in our country threatens to cut anyone’s hand if they take off the poster “I love Muhammad”. It should be noted that he did this threat for the UP police officer.

The debate began on September 4 during the Barawafat (Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi) procession in Rawatpur, Kanpur. A group put the flag on the way to the mock ‘I love Muhammad’. This has led to the objections of local Hindu groups that claimed that a ‘new tradition’ was introduced in an area used for Barawafat celebrations.

The way that protests occur in these discussions in every city, people go to the streets without believing in the statements of the police, and the fact that this discussion reached Pakistan, the hopes of some roots for a Ghazwa-e-hind have increased. They believe that plans to provoke rebellions in India can be realized. The same fundamentalists encourage Muslim youth to take the streets.

In a democracy, everyone has the right to protest, but protests also have certain rules and regulations. You can’t start protesting anywhere without police permission. Suddenly you can’t go to the streets at night. It is not right to use young children as a pawn in protests or threaten the hands of the police.
