Sir, You reported on a UN official criticising India for failing to protect its Muslim minority who were attacked in Pahalgam, in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This is not new. Muslims face hate crimes throughout India everyday, they are killed, assaulted, their houses and business demolished, journalists imprisoned, and discriminated against in employment. However, the world looks on and does nothing. On the contrary, they do business with India, like this week’s UK’s trade deal with Modi’s government with no mention of human rights abuses against Muslims.
Yours,
Ahmad Shah
