Known for her acute anti-BJP views and for being a relentless Islamist apologist, Lutyens’ journalist and columnist Saba Naqvi finally brought her true thoughts to the surface. On 1 March she tweeted,  “Yatras by Hindutva groups should never have been allowed…,” reported by Hindu Post.

Lutyens’ journalist and columnist Saba Naqvi ,On 1 March tweeted,  “Yatras by Hindutva groups should never have been allowed…”

According to several Twitter users, the word ‘Hindutva’ has been deployed to voice out Hindu-hate in public, while maintaining political correctness.

Saba Naqvi has been giving anti- Hindu views for few years now, sometimes by rebuking those who speak up for Hindus and at times by defending those who attack Hindus.

The radicals who, on the morning of 27 February 2002 had set the Sabarmati Express on fire, knew that the train was packed with pilgrims on their way back from the Yagna for the Ram Temple to be constructed at the undisputed site of Ayodhya. They bore an intense hatred for these innocent Hindu devotees on Yatra, driven by which they targeted the train and burnt 59 Hindus, including several women and children, alive.

The terrorists who have attacked the Amarnath yatra 36 times in past 30 years, killing over 50 yatris, leaving 167 of them injured, hated the Hindu yatras just as much. In 2000 alone, 89 people, including 21 yatris, were massacred at the hands of Islamist terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba. On the Shravan of 2001, Islamist Kashmiri Sunni militant groups, who had attacked it numerous times, slaughtered 8 unarmed Hindu yatris headed for Amarnath. A more recent Islamist terror attack on Amarnath yatris was orchestrated by the Lashkar-e-Taiba in 2017 and again claimed 8 lives.

In July 2017, a Muslim mob attacked a convoy of Kawariyas for passing through “their area” in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. In August 2018, Kawariyas were attacked in Fatehpur, Rajasthan, by members of Muslim community while passing in front of a mosque. Kawariyas were beaten up in 2019 by Islamic fundamentalists for raising the slogan of ‘Bol-Bam’, 2 were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri district, UP.

Actually, right from Amarnath Yatra to Kanwariya Yatra to Durga Puja to Ganesh Chaturthi, to any Hindu festival celebration which finds expression in a public procession, comes on the target of Islamists who cannot countenance the kafirs daring to celebrate their ‘idolatrous’ religion.

The terrorists and jihadis openly attacked Hindu yatris, the left-liberals and closet Islamists used other means to diss the same yatris – so Amarnath yatris were criticized for damaging the environment or mocked for worshipping an ice shivling, Kanwariyas were labelled as traffic disrupting hooligans etc.
