Clearly, Nupur Sharma’s accurate words were just a pretext. The nationwide riots are an attempt to destabilize the government and/or wring concessions from it.
“Prayagraj: Islamists pelt stones at police, protest against Nupur Sharma’s remarks on Prophet Muhammad,” OpIndia, June 10, 2022:
The row over the remarks made by former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma on Prophet Muhammad is showing no signs of ending any time soon. Last Friday, violent protests were seen in Kanpur after the Namaz, and similar scenes were repeated by Islamists across many cities this Friday after the weekly prayers. Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh saw heavy stone-pelting on the police forces by Islamists after the Friday Namaz and the situation continues to remain tense.
The protest staged against Nupur Sharma quickly turned violent with the protestors pelting stones at the security forces after sloganeering. After the protests turned violent, Rapid Action Force (RAF) and Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) lathi-charged the protestors to clear the area. However, the stone-pelting continued intermittently despite the best efforts of the security forces….
Prayagraj was not the only place to see protests over the issue this Friday in Uttar Pradesh as violent protests were observed in places like Lucknow, Saharanpur, Deoband and Moradabad. Protests also broke out in the National Capital Delhi over Nupur Sharma’s remarks as Jama Masjid saw a massive protest over the issue.

Five states have been affected by violence by Islamists in India since Nupur Sharma’s truthful remark.
The most affected state was UP wherein about 5 cities are densely populated by Muslims.
This state like the state of Kerala too is home to mushrooming of madrasas. US had urged India Or UP some 2 decades back that madrasas be restricted or monitored as it was spreading hate against US.
Unbridled growth of madrasas are also a serious threat to normal functioning of the world order.
What we are witnessing now is the seed of hatred sown by islam some 2 or more decades ago in the form of madrasas bearing its fruit.

Like in the previous story, good news here too: the house of the thug behind the rioting in Prayagraj has been demolished. Before it was, illegal weapons were found stocked there
