AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has described the recent
incident in which a Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable shot dead four
individuals on a train in Maharashtra as a "terror attack targeted at
Muslims." Owaisi attributes the tragedy to the persistent anti-Muslim hate
speech and what he perceives as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unwillingness to
address it. Constable Chetan Singh, 34, pulled out his automatic rifle early on
Monday morning on the Jaipur-Mumbai Central Express, killing a senior RPF
officer and three passengers. Passengers Abdul Qadirbhai Mohammed Hussain
Bhanpurwala (48), Akhtar Abbas Ali (48), and Sadar Mohammed Hussain (48) were
killed, along with RPF Assistant Sub-Inspector Tika Ram Meena.
Owaisi expressed his outrage on Twitter, calling the act a
"terror attack" against Muslims. He blamed Prime Minister Narendra
Modi for the disaster by arguing that it was the result of Modi's failure to
prevent anti-Muslim hate speech. Owaisi voiced concern that the accused
constable would be hailed upon his release, that he would become a future BJP
candidate, and that he would have government backing for bail.
GRP commissioner Ravindra Shisve reassured the public that a thorough investigation would be conducted when a video surfaced purporting to show the accused constable near the dead bodies and maybe justifying the deaths. He said the police are committed to doing a thorough investigation because this is the first time something like this has happened on a moving train.
Authorities are working hard to reassure
anxious passengers after the event. Shisve has promised that the police will
investigate this tragedy thoroughly, looking at every piece of evidence.
As the inquiry continues, the incident has captured the
attention of the world and sparked broad worry, prompting discussions about
security measures and the need to combat hate speech to prevent future
tragedies.
