The advent of social media has given people unlimited freedom of expression, but many take it for granted and indulge in communalism. Incidents of hate speech have time and again gone viral on social media, drawing user reactions and police action. One such incident came to light when a youth from Rafiqabad in Ghaziabad said on camera that he would crush Hindus like insects and spiders.
A video of netizens tagging the Uttar Pradesh police demanding action has gone viral on social media. In the video, the youth identifies himself as Ayyan Qureshi and can be heard saying that Hindus are confined to India. “Insa Allah, Islam lived and will live all over the world. What are Hindus? They will crush like insects, like spiders.. (inaudible)…,” he said, but was interrupted. The presenter asked her not to talk like this. You can see him saying that he will talk like this regardless of that. After this video went viral, the news of Ayan’s arrest also came out.
