The audacity with which the Radical Terrorist Ram Bhakt (self proclaimed, on his Facebook page) Gopal shot a Muslim Student at Jamia has raised a number of questions. While everyone of us are free to do whatever we want, what makes us civil and prevent us from becoming wild and radical are consequences of our actions.

Bhakt Gopal knew he wouldn’t have to face any consequences after he has “shot” a Muslim student and therefore did what he wanted to, under the watch of Delhi Police.

On the other hand, there’s a Muslim Student Sharjeel Imam who just spoke about Chakka Jaam, a legitimate form of protests and have been slapped with sedition or Dr. Kafeel Khan, who spoke nothing that incited violence and have been slapped with FIR for his alleged remarks that ‘could’ incite violence has been taken into police custody

How long will it take for us to realise that the state has different standards of law for Muslims, who do not even engage in violent acts but are slapped with grave charges like Sedition and UAPA and Hindus that even after committing violent acts, like attempting to kill Muslim Students are merely watched by the Police and taken into custody very gracefully and lovingly.

This grace goes missing when the Muslim Student who has been shot needs to be taken to hospital but the police refuses to remove the barricades and the victim has to step up on the barricades and cross them to reach hospital to save his life.
If this doesn’t boil your blood then what will? You dont have to be a Muslim to stand up for Shadab, Sharjeel and Kafeel but just a Human Being with a moral compass. Raise your voice for Muslims without exceptions, stand with Sharjeel.
