What Nupur Sharma said was accurate, but the jihadi hysteria is in full bloom now.
“Gujarat: Youth receives death threats from Islamists for uploading a picture of Nupur Sharma on Instagram,” OpIndia, July 15, 2022:
Death threats to people supporting Nupur Sharma on social media still continue. A case has appeared in the Umra area of Surat city in Gujarat, where a young businessman received death threats for supporting Nupur Sharma on social media. An FIR has been registered in the Umra police station, and the police have arrested three persons in the case.
The complainant youth runs an amusement park in the city. A picture of former Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Nupur Sharma was uploaded on the Instagram page of the park. After this, the youth received death threats from seven persons. Initially, the youth ignored these threats but as the threats continued, he contacted the police station and told the officials about the threats. The police initiated the procedure to file an FIR and arrested three youths.
The arrested accused are identified as Mohammad Ayan Atashbajiwala, Rashid Bhura, and a woman named Aliya Mohammad. All the arrested threateners are residents of Surat. They were charged under sections 504 (insult with intent to cause a breach of peace) and 506, 507 of the Indian Penal Code (criminal intimidation).
According to the FIR, a picture of Nupur Sharma was posted on the Instagram handle of the amusement park by the team handling its social media marketing. However, the youth immediately deleted the picture and apologized. But the arrested three accused and four others issued death threats to the young businessman. They messaged him on Instagram asking whether he wanted to live in Surat or not. Inspector JR Chaudhary of the Umra police station said that the police are looking for the other four accused….

This young fella made a huge mistake, he took down the picture and apologised for daring to hold an opinion.
Jihadists remind me of Jackals, they only have any courage when they hunt in packs and they can smell weakness.
Kowtowing to these animals only emboldens them and makes it harder to fight.
It’s fortunate that this never happened in Sh*#astan next door. Otherwise this guy would, at the very least be in jail charged with blasphemy or some other trumped up charge or more likely he would be dead by now.
