APCR Report: Dozens of Attacks on Muslims Recorded Since Pahalgam Incident
H-Tayea
A recent report released by the Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR) has documented a disturbing surge in violence and harassment targeting the Muslim community in India following the Pahalgam incident.
According to the report, there have been 39 physical assaults, 19 acts of vandalism, and 42 incidents of harassment against Muslims recorded in the days since the Pahalgam episode. The findings suggest a pattern of targeted communal aggression, rather than random or isolated acts.
The report, cited in The Wire and amplified by journalist Arfa Khanum Sherwani, warns that these incidents come at a critical juncture when national unity and solidarity are most needed. Instead, the period has been marked by a sharp rise in communal polarization, according to the APCR.
'These incidents were neither random nor isolated,' the report states. 'At a time when unity and solidarity were the need of the hour, the nation witnessed increased communal polarization.'
Civil rights advocates and legal experts have expressed concern over the growing normalization of hate crimes and the apparent lack of accountability for those responsible. The report calls for urgent intervention by law enforcement agencies and political leaders to restore communal harmony and uphold the constitutional promise of equality and protection for all citizens.
The APCR has urged the government to take immediate steps to investigate the incidents, provide justice for victims, and implement stronger safeguards against hate-driven violence.
