As usual, these Hindu thugs will try obfuscation and diversion – was it murder only, and not rape and murder ?
In the Aqhlaq lynching case, these BJP Hindus said it was for cow slaughter. The BJP minister Sharma said the crowd got excited (so it is understandable). Instead of arresting the culprits for the murder, the police examined and tested the meat in the fridge – and initially reported it was mutton. After 6 months, it was duly changed to beef. So Hindus then thought you cannot blame the mob.
Likewise, here they will try to confuse people it was only murder, and not savage rape and murder. That is what Amit Malviya is playing. Hindus will then feel it was not as bad as initially thought. And further, caste will be de-linked. Yogi and various ministers start the news that anti-national forces are trying to create a caste war, and they have started arresting people. And the BJP politicians will say that the police got excited and did the cremation, and opposition is trying to divide Hindus.
In due course it will be forgotten – till they do the next excess. This is how fascists work everywhere. Vinod Dua had memorably said ‘ they have tasted the blood of Muslims, it will not be long before they want the blood of Hindus’. The caste Hindus will continue supporting the BJP, because you have to see what the other side (Muslims, Congress etc.) are doing.
