“The mob indulged in large-scale rioting, stone-pelting and arson, and in the process destroyed many public and private properties.”
The mob was rioting over India’s new Citizenship Amendment Act, which offers refuge in India for non-Muslim victims of persecution in the neighboring Muslim countries. One might think that rioting and destroying property would not be the best way to make the case for the injustice of this law; the rioters were apparently heedless of the fact that they were actually demonstrating the need for it.
“Delhi Police Slap Sedition Charge Against Sharjeel Imam For Jamia Riots,” PTI, April 18, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
New Delhi: Delhi police charged former JNU student Sharjeel Imam with sedition before a court here on Saturday, alleging his speech promoted enmity between people that led to riots in the Jamia Millia Islamia University area.
In its supplementary charge sheet, the police said serious riots had broken out in consequence to the protest march organised by Jamia students against the amended citizenship law on December 15 last year.
The mob indulged in large-scale rioting, stone-pelting and arson, and in the process destroyed many public and private properties. Cases of rioting, arson and damage to public property were registered in both the police stations. Many policemen and public persons were injured in the riots, the agency told in its final report filed before the chief metropolitan magistrate court.
The cases were registered in New Friends Colony and Jamia Nagar police stations.
In the New Friends Colony case, Imam was arrested for instigating and abetting the Jamia riots, due to his seditious speech delivered on December 13, 2019. During the investigation, on the basis of evidence collected, sections 124 A (sedition) and 153 A IPC (promoting enmity between classes) were invoked in the case,” police said.
The police previously filed a charge sheet against the rioters arrested by the SIT….
Imam was arrested from Bihar’s Jehanabad on January 28. He had been involved in organising protests at Shaheen Bagh but came into limelight after a video showed him making controversial comments before a gathering at Aligarh Muslim University, following which he was booked under sedition charges….
Veron Holness says
Cue, the liberal western media, hailing Sharjeel Imam as political prisioner!

Mural says
Skai, relax. The first comment was about the reaction in the Western media. Mine was a follow-up on how western media will chime in on intolerance.
Obviously, Minorities in India are treated like kings. Better than how Muslims are treated in Islamic states
Michael Copeland says
Wisely India has the charge of sedition available. In the UK under David Cameron sedition was made no longer a crime.

Mural says
The liberal idiots were vociferously protesting in India for the removal of this law.
DHazard says
Stomp out violence.
Chintamani says
Sharjeel has a notorious criminal Jihadi mindset. More poisonous than scorpions and snakes.
Mural says
BTW, This guy was educated in one of the top tech schools in India. Just goes to show that even the best education cannot overcome a lifetime of jihadi indoctrination

India: Muslim leader charged with sedition for inciting riots at Islamic university
………………
Glad he’s been charged.
And this is just more proof that Infidels *do* need to be protected from ravening Muslims–and why this law should not be expanded to including the very thugs threatening non-Muslims in the first place.
Jayell says
An ‘islamic University’. Interesting concept. Would one expect the same level of intellectual integrity (?!) as one finds in the ‘Holy Qur’an’? In which case, what would be the value of any qualification from this ‘University’? Also, we’ve heard time and time again about muslims entering (shall we say?) Catholic institutions then proceeding to dictate the agenda there. Does this ‘Islamic University’ admit non muslims? And suppose these non-muslims decided to object islamic ideology being taught, or the display of crescent symbols in classrooms, just as muslims have objected to crosses in Catholic school classrooms? Would the authorities just cave in? Or would the rules of engagement mysteriously change yet again?
Pradeep Choudhary says
This Islamic university does admit non-Muslims albiet with little rights, you see, India has a reservation system for lower caste, through which they get benefits in jobs and studies, like in top universities while upper caste gets zero benefits anywhere. Similarly this Islamic university has its own set up of reservation quota for Muslim students, means Non Muslims can’t fill out all the seats, they’re only admitted on the limited seats, while the rest of the seats are for Muslims only. There might be other restrictions as well for the non-muslims that I’m unaware of, but there would be some more to make sure that Muslims get priorty. It’s less of a University and more of a propagenda instuite with so many anti-natonal elements studying in it. This Sherjil Imam was just one of it among many and that’s why India has to be vigilant from both outside and inside.
OTTER says
Muslims understand only force. Tough sentencing does not deter them but can be helpful. Unfortunately, I know that such charges never see the light of day in court and when they do, the whole strident brainwashed Dhimmi Hindus, liberal media, and Muslims start screaming ‘Islamophobia.’ You see, its never about their actions, only about discrediting a totally reasonable response to their actions. We should have something called the “Muslim Export Promotion Council’ in India, which pays one rupee to every Muslim who leaves the country and never comes back. They got their country when Pakistan was formed. Kick them there.
peter says
Why would they be tempted by one rupee when Mohamed has promised thousand virgins(boys or girls) for jihad!
jewdog says
I’ve read that the ruling conservative party suffered losses in local elections. It would be a disaster for India to revert to a leftist regime.
OTTER says
Jewdog,
You are so right. Depressingly, this government’s time runs out in 2024 and then you can expect to have a full blown leftist government with powerful Muslim ministers. India is in the midst of its unravelling and once again, its the Muslims and leftists who will be to blame. The only country in the world where Hindus can flourish in the confidence of their ancient civilisation is India.
Hinduism has given such a lot to the world: Yoga is the most prominent example. It has spread throughout the world because of the peace of mind it gives. And look at what Islam does! A curse on humanity.
DhanushDhari Misra says
The Muslim leader will be out of prison on bail within a week or two and again indulge in his nefarious activities.
OLD GUY says
What else would a Muslim/Islamic university teach. You can not be a muslim and follow state laws unless they are sharia.
Khushi says
muslims are hardly a minority in India anymore. They are the second largest majority and quickly gaining on the largest majority – Hindus – via their lack of birth control.
Why should the muslims of pakistan and bangladesh need citizenship in India? They are not facing religious persecution in their home countries. Only non-muslims are facing religious persecution at the hands of muslims.
teddy says
Well, the time is slowly coming for return of good days. Lot of moslems are leaving islam, because they cannot understand it with simple logic. There are too many ex-muslims. Iranians just started to come back to Zoroastrianism. Modi or some nationalist will again be in the power when he leaves the office, I am sure.
To tell you all, around 800AD, Raja Dahir (a brahmin king of Sindh) gave protection and asylum to grandchildren as well as followers of Prophet Mohammed, but was killed by bin Qasim (who was sent by Caliph to kill them), which no one teaches in Islam and Pakistan. You can go and check in Chachnama (a written document of that time) the written history. Still the maulvis and maulanas hate Hindus.
Lisa says
Muslims are so used to crying victim and then using bullying tactics to get whatever they want, they have no respect for anyone but themselves. India and the rest of the world MUST stand up to these bully’s and have courage in their convictions. They will try every trick in the book to get their own way society must say no more…
