The BJP is repeatedly hurting millions of Muslims by bringing up the Babri Masjid incidents, hijab incidents, and sometimes azan.

In Faridpur, the district level Islami Andolon Bangladesh held a protest rally in front of the Press Club in the city.
Several leaders of the group demanded the execution of Nupur Sharma and former Delhi media cell head Naveen Kumar Jindal for making derogatory remarks about the Prophet (PBUH).

Meanwhile, Muslims in India’s New Delhi and the neighbouring northern state of Uttar Pradesh took to the streets demanding the immediate arrest of the two leaders, erstwhile BJP national spokesperson Nupur Sharma and former Delhi media cell head Naveen Kumar Jindal.
The protests erupted in the wake of the insulting remarks on the Prophet (PBUH), which triggered a major diplomatic row between India and many Muslim-majority countries – the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait and Qatar, to name a few.
India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said on June 5 that it had suspended its spokeswoman Nupur Sharma in response to comments she made during a TV debate about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Sharma said on Twitter she had said some things in response to comments made about a Hindu god but she had no intention to hurt anyone's religious feelings.
"If my words have caused discomfort or hurt religious feelings of anyone whatsoever, I hereby unconditionally withdraw my statement," she said.
Another BJP spokesman, Naveen Jindal, was expelled from the party over comments he had made about Islam on social media, the BJP office said.
Jindal said on Twitter he had questioned some comments made against Hindu gods. "I only questioned them but that does not mean I am against any religion."
The BJP statement also said: "The Bharatiya Janata Party is also strongly against any ideology which insults or demeans any sect or religion. The BJP does not promote such people or philosophy."
Sharma's comments prompted complaints from several Muslim countries, including Qatar and Kuwait.
