Hindutva Violence Forces Muslim Families to Flee Uttarakhand
September 12, 2024In Uttarakhand, Muslim families have been compelled to leave their homes following violent attacks by Hindutva extremists.
The violence erupted during a protest related to an incident of harassment involving women. The unrest led to the vandalism and looting of businesses owned by Muslims.
Eight Muslim families, long-time residents of Nandanagar, have fled the area out of fear for their safety. The mob’s actions included physical assaults and threats against local residents.
