When Corona has spoiled the economic condition of the whole world, some are trying to spoil the peace environment of the country by cultivating hatred in the name of 'economic jihad' and 'love jihad'. In the same sequence, two Muslim students of a local madrassa in Paldi area of ​​Gujarat were beaten up so badly by certain people that they had to be hospitalized in a serious condition.
 
Their condition remains critical even two days after the incident.
 
According to reports, 17-year-old Umar and 16-year-old Khizar were targeted by a Kha-class mob. He was abused and attacked with kicks and punches. "The attackers targeted him because he was wearing kurta pajama and cap," said Maktoob, Omar's father, Mufti Abdul Qayyum.
 
They were beaten up so brutally that Umar is still unconscious, while Khizar is not talking to anyone out of fear. The attackers twisted Umar's hand badly. He was repeatedly hit on the head, while Khizar has stitches on both his hands. Both the children were returning from their scooty to Paldi home when they were targeted.
 
It is alleged that the incidence of hate crime against a particular section has increased in the country. Especially in the Hindi belt. Now this social evil has started spreading in other states also. Told that in the Gujarat case, some people attacked both the children of the madrasa by spreading the fear of 'economic jihad'.
