After raising hue and cry about the skull cap during mock drill, this is what comes out today on most of news channel. To not hurt sentiments of India Muslims news channels could have edited the picture to remove the skull cap.

Here is another pic of two love birds.

So no one should raise a voice when you stereotype certain section of society but when a blunt truth of certain section of Godmen is brought out in the form of a movie(PK), Sanghis go bonkers over it....

Indian police face flak over 'Muslim' terror drill

AHMEDABAD: Police in Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat faced widespread criticism Thursday after staging an anti-terrorism exercise featuring “militants” dressed up as Muslims.

A video of the drill, which was broadcast on Indian media websites, shows five policemen capturing and then pinning down three men in white knitted skullcaps before bundling them into jeeps.

The exercise earlier this week was in preparation for a January 11-13 investment summit in Gujarat, whose speakers will include US Secretary of State John Kerry as well as Modi himself.

Modi, who is leader of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, was chief minister of Gujarat during an outbreak of communal violence in 2002 which killed more than 1,000 people. Most of the victims were Muslims.

Kamal Faruqui of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board termed the mock drill “atrocious and highly condemnable”.

“It is profiling the Muslim community which is very bad. They should apologise, otherwise they should be taken to the court,” Faruqui told NDTV news channel.

The former ruling Congress party called the incident an act of religious intolerance by a “failed administration”.

Police initially tried to brush off the criticism, saying the skullcaps were used “to give them a different look”. But they later apologised for an “avoidable situation”.

“This was a mistake and should not have happened,” local police chief Pradeep Sejul told AFP, adding that an inquiry had been ordered.

Concerns about religious intolerance in secular India have grown since Modi came to power in May, fuelled by reports of Muslims and Christians being forced or induced to become Hindus in mass conversions.

Your valuable input is most welcome on Indian state sponsored terrorism. It seems as if Indian terrorism is not limited to IOK/Maqbooza Kashmir only.

We should thank Modi, his every step is leading India towards disintegration. Modi is doing everything to lead India towards massive unrest and civil war.

Kejriwal said he is a Baniya and knows how to dhanda, is he implying Non Baniyas don't know how to do business? Why are you tolerating stereotyping of this kind? Speak against it.

 

[Koovie]

Well somebody has seriously think about how not to hurt sentiments of certain communities...

Utterly disrespectful and tasteless.

It wasn't the first time police used Muslim getup for mock drills. It might not be politically correct of them but wasn't such a big issue everyone is making out of it. And modi being dragged in unnecessarily.

I hope this drill is repeated all over the country. Gujarat police has a great track record.

I am not dragging in Modi or anyone else over here but it was grossly wrong in stereotyping in such a way and can't be just termed as politically incorrect....

This is what the author has started with

Where did the author imply that Modi was involved in this?
