On Tuesday, a Hindutva group protested outside the hotel of a Muslim owner in Gujarat and started raising communal slogans.
A video which has gone viral on the social media shows the Hindutva group sloganeering at the inauguration of a Muslim owners hotel. Apart from raising the slogans of nationalism, they could be heard saying, “Agar iss desh mein rehna hoga, Jai Shree Ram kehna hoga,” (If you want to stay in this country, you must Chant Jai Shree Ram).

The Hindutva group protesting the inauguration of a Muslim owners hotel in Gujarat could be heard raising the violence-inciting slogan, “Desh ke gadharo ko, dhoond ke maaro saalo ko,” (Find and kill the traitors of the nation).
Freelance Journalist turned Politician, Prashant Kanojia, who is currently president SC/ST cell of Rashtriya Lok Dal, took to Twitter and wrote, “Hindutva Saffron Terrorist in Gujarat opposing a restaurant opened by Muslim. This is not Taliban but our own Gujarat Model.”
More recently the cases of violence and hate speeches against Muslim minorities in India have increased immensely with little to no condemnation by the government.
