The opening as it read in October 6, 2023

Controversy in India Protests against the remarks by the Muslim community of Kolkata , West Bengal The 2022 Muhammad remarks row began on 27 May 2022, when Nupur Sharma , a spokeswoman of India's ruling party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), made controversial remarks about the Islamic prophet Muhammad , on a Times Now debate on the Gyanvapi Mosque dispute, against the counterparty called the disputed Shivalinga as Fountain.1 The comments were in reference to Muhammad (53) and age of his third wife, Aisha (6), at the time of their marriage and the consummation of the marriage when Aisha was 9 (as per Sahih al-Bukhari). However, she was quoting from the Sahih al-Bukhari .2 The controversy escalated on 1 June, when Naveen Kumar Jindal, the Delhi BJP media chief, made similar remarks on Twitter. By 4 June, the remarks had been widely shared on social media, and were trending among the top 10 hashtags in all the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Turkey . The comments were strongly condemned by Muslim nations.3 Within India, dozens of police cases were filed against Sharma and Jindal. In some parts of the country, protests turned violent, leading to several deaths and injuries. The violence in Uttar Pradesh led to the punitive demolition of homes of some accused rioters. Several Gulf countries, including allies and partners of India, issued strong condemnations and there were threats of boycotting Indian goods. The Indian government responded to the controversy, by stating that the remarks did not reflect the government's views, but rather came from "fringe elements". BJP suspended Sharma and expelled Jindal from the party.
