Indian police shoot dead two Muslims protesting against blasphemous remarks

RANCHI: Indian police shot dead two protesters and arrested more than 130 others during street rallies sparked by a ruling party official’s remarks about Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), authorities told AFP Saturday.

Anger has engulfed the Islamic world since last week when a spokeswoman for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party made offensive remarks about the Holy Prophet (PBUH) on a TV debate show.

Muslims took to the streets after Friday prayers in huge numbers across India and neighbouring countries to condemn the remarks, with police firing on a crowd in the eastern city of Ranchi.

“Police were forced to open fire to disperse protesters […] resulting in the death of two,” a police officer from the eastern city of Ranchi told AFP.

Officers claimed that the crowd had defied their orders not to march from a mosque to a market and thrown broken bottles and stones when police attempted to disperse the rally with a baton charge.

Authorities cut internet connections in the city and imposed a curfew, with local resident Shabnam Ara telling AFP the atmosphere remained tense on Saturday.

“We are praying for peace and harmony,” she added.

Police in Uttar Pradesh fired tear gas to disperse at least one rally after several demonstrations were staged across the northern state.

Most protests ended peacefully but demonstrators in some cities had “thrown stones at police and injured at least one officer”, said Avanish Awasthi, a senior government secretary in the state.

“We will take strict action against those indulging in stone pelting and violence,” Awasthi told reporters.

“Those working behind the scene, instigating violence, will not be spared at all.”

Prashant Kumar, a senior police officer in the state, told AFP that up to “136 protesting Muslims” had been arrested from six districts around Uttar Pradesh.

Cities around India saw sizable demonstrations on Friday, with some crowds burning effigies of Nupur Sharma, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokeswoman whose comments set off the furor.
