In a disturbing incident that has sparked nationwide outrage, a group of protestors in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, were seen walking over papers bearing Islamic inscriptions during an anti-Pakistan demonstration.
The protestors, shouting slogans such as “Pakistan Murdabad,” reportedly placed printouts of the Pakistani flag and what appeared to be the Saudi Arabian flag on the ground. The Saudi flag features the Islamic declaration of faith, or Kalma, inscribed in Arabic, along with a sword symbol on a green background.
Videos circulating online show demonstrators trampling the flags, with many viewers identifying Islamic text among the printed materials. In another video, a man is seen picking up some of the inscriptions from the ground while leaving behind the Pakistani flags, though it is unclear if this footage is from the same location. The incident has drawn strong condemnation from Muslim communities across India, who view the act as deeply disrespectful to their faith.
This development comes in the wake of the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which left at least 26 people dead, including local residents and international tourists.
The Resistance Front (TRF), a group linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, initially claimed responsibility before retracting the statement. The Indian government has held Pakistan accountable, escalating diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
In retaliation, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, expelled Pakistani diplomats, canceled existing visas for Pakistani citizens, and closed border crossings. In turn, Pakistan rejected the accusations, suspended the Simla Agreement, expelled Indian diplomats, and closed its airspace to Indian aircraft.
