Days after his killing, Hindu Right-wing trolls Rahul Bhatt for being ‘Rohingya supporter’

Barely a week after his killing, the Hindu right-wing has started heckling the deceased Kashmiri Pandit, Rahul Bhatt, who was killed by suspected militants in the Tehsil office at Beerwah Budgam last Thursday.

The Kashmiri Pandits have been up in arms against the local admin and openly raising Anti-BJP slogans as security remains their primary concern, however, the Right-wing has not given up on sharing what many say is a morphed image of Rahul Bhatt. Many are even using the slanderous comments against the deceased.

In this Photo, which is being claimed to be a display photo of Rahul Bhatt’s Facebook page, the deceased has allegedly used the banner in support of Rohingya Muslims, who were massacred in their country Burma. Pertinently, the Right-wing has always called for the ouster of the Rohingya refugees who are temporarily sheltering in India among several other Asian nations.

In a recent demolition drive, the right wing supported by sections of Electronic mainstream media ran a full blown campaign calling for the demolition of the “Muslim-dominated” areas alleging that the area was inhibited by illegal Rohingya immigrants and other Muslims from Bangladesh.

In what seems to be an organized campaign, the trolls most of who promote pro-BJP and Pro- Hindutva content have been sharing the same image of Rahul Bhatt, the slain Kashmiri Pandit, with the banner “Stop killing Rohingya Muslims”, which has evoked anger among sections of Kashmiri Pandits.

A twitter user,  Tarun Raju sharing the same photo of Rahul Bhatt said, “Turns out that Rahul Bhat fought for Rohingya rights. Textbook case that sickularism won’t protect you from them.”

Another user, said, “Rahul Bhat was a rohingya supporter. It serves as a lesson to people like you @SagrikaKissu  and @rahulpandita. How much ever you guys suck up to the peaceful community, your end will also be the same. Bloody 5 star rated Kashmiri activists.”
