Badlega India

Minority Muslims always complain about discriminatory behavior they face in India, same thing happened in Pakistan with minority Hindu. This might seem like a sweeping statement but that’s what the individual stories depict, for instance, the assault on Yunus Sheikh in Latur, Maharashtra or the fresh case of attack on a 80-year-old Hindu Gokul Das in Pakistan.

 

Gokal Das, poor and old man was beaten up which left him bleeding for something so unimportant but not for the inhumane cop who beat him, as eating rice outside his house 40 minutes before the specific time to break the fast.

The policeman, identified as Ali Hassan, has been arrested per the tweet of Pakistan’s former PM Benazir Butto’s daughter, Bakhtawar Bhutto, as per Indiatimes reports.

Well, I reckon the hunger and thirst in the policeman, who was clearly out of his tiny mind and could not bear the Roza, led him to take the extreme measure. Miyan, if you cannot tolerate fasting, why fast at all and transcend the basic values of humanity that fasting should instil in you?

Social Media instantly became the platform for people to voice their agitation against this cruel injustice. Instrument of Empowerment snaps out rage against the cop and asks for justice for Gokul Das.
