So, as we speak do we even know in which part of the country and where some Islamist is preparing to kill another Hindu right now at this moment? Or we wait for another killing to splash on the front cover of a newspaper or trending tweets on social media.

There seems to be no end to continuing attacks on Hindus for supporting former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma. On 4th August 2022, a Hindu youth named Prateek Pawar from the Karjat town in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra was attacked by around 12 to 15 Islamists who attacked him with various weapons like swords and sticks.

Dozens of attackers broke down on the young man, saying 'You also need to be done as Umesh Kolhe', attacked with a sword.

Prateek Pawar is being treated in a private hospital in Ahmednagar.

As per the complaint by Prateek Pawar and his friend Amit Mane, the groups of Mohammedans attacked 23-year-old Prateek Pawar. Mane informed that Pawar was going towards Karjat in Ahmednagar and had to stop on the road near Akkabai chowk to wait for a friend. But all of a sudden around 12 to 14 Islamists arrived in a white Swift car, and three two-wheelers – a black Bullet, a red Pulsar, and a white scooter – and surrounded him.

They mocked Pawar, ‘You have so much proud in Hindutva, you are regularly posting posts and statuses on social media supporting Nupur Sharma and Kanhaiya Lal, due to which more people have started to support them, we think we should do a Umesh Kolhe with you also’.

They were referring to the murder of Umesh Kolhe in Maharashtra for supporting Nupur Sharma. Kolhe, a chemist, was killed over his alleged support for Nupur Sharma on social media in Maharashtra's Amravati district. The case is being investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

One Mohammedan named Shahrukh Pathan attacked Prateek with a sword with the intention to kill him while chanting loud slogans. Pawar did try to protect himself and in the process, the sword hit his hand. Then Nihal Khan Pathan and Sohail Khan Pathan attacked Sunny on the head from the back. The gravely injured Hindu youth fell to the ground and started bleeding, but the Islamist group continued to hit him with swords, sticks, hockey sticks, etc saying that they will not let one Kafir remain alive. After a series of blows on the head with a sword, Prateek fainted and the attackers thinking him dead fled from the scene.

Prateek was immediately rushed to a hospital, and police launched an investigation into the case. The accused have been booked under sections 307, 143, 147, 148, 149, 323, and 504 of the IPC based on the complaint filed by Amit Mane. Several persons including Sharukh Khan Pathan, Sohel Pathan, Nihal Khan Pathan, Ilail Sheikh, Tipu Pathan, Arbaz Kasam Pathan, Arshan Pathan, and Aqeeb Syed have been named in the case. Reportedly, four persons have been arrested by the police.

‘Our hands are not tied’, warns BJP MLA Nitesh Rane

‘You have so much pride in Hindutva. We won’t leave a Kafir alive’:  Mohammedans attack Hindu youth Prateek Pawar with swords in Maharashtra for supporting Nupur Sharma & Kanhaiya Lal, had 35 stitches, ribs broken, and fighting his battle against death

BJP MLA Nilesh Rane today held a press conference at the BJP state headquarters in Mumbai to talk about this brutal attack.

Nilesh Rane said, “I am holding this press conference as a Hindu. The first killings for supporting Nupur Sharma took place in Udaipur in Rajasthan and Amravati in Maharashtra. A similar attempt was made on 4th August 2022 at Karjat in the Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra. A Hindu youth named Prateek Pawar was going for a community celebration organized to mark the birth anniversary of great Dalit Marathi writer AnnaBhau Sathe. On his way to that program, a group of 10 to 15 Muslims stopped him and said – ‘You put Nupur Sharma’s photo as the display picture on your social media account. You are also encouraging other people in the town to do so. You are raising your voice as a Hindu.’ And these goons attacked Prateek Pawar.”

Nitesh Rane further said, “The attackers had sharp weapons with them and Prateek was alone. Due to this brutal attack, he fell unconscious to the ground. The attackers thought that he died and thus they left the spot. When Prateek Pawar’s friends came to the spot, they immediately took him to a government hospital from where he was shifted to a private hospital to get better treatment. He had 35 stitches, ribs are broken, and is fighting his battle against death.”

Nitesh Rane added, “We live in a country that operates according to the constitution written by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Nupur Sharma’s issue is long over. But if it is being revisited again and again as a reason to kill some Hindus in this state, then the attackers should realize that no one has tied our hands. The FIR, in this case, is registered; but the local police inspector was trying to pressurize Hindus otherwise as he visited the victim’s home. Our local leaders from various Hindu organizations came together and informed to the deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis who instructed the police officials to take proper action. So far four culprits are arrested but the main attackers are still absconding free. We request the police to take swift action and arrest all of them.”

BJP MLA further stated, “This is not the earlier Maha Vikas Aghadi government. Nawab Malik is no more the minority affairs minister. If you target us Hindus, we can give an equally brutal reply. We follow the Constitution and there is no Sharia law in our country. Somebody says something to your deities and you are not ready to forget that, but at the same time, Hindu deities are insulted every day on social media and in public life. Then why should we forget it all? A youth in Nashik had spread the Shivling image with a condom put on it, a few weeks back. We took legal action against him. And we let it go. We did not kill him. But if you are not ready to forget such things and if you are ready to even kill us, then I give an open message to all those people that we are ready to retaliate.

Nitesh Rane said, “Don’t dare to touch our people. A country protected by weapons can only take care of its knowledge. If you provoke us to do certain things necessary to protect our Dharma and Nation, we will definitely do all those things. I demand that this matter in Karjat should be probed by NIA. No such incident should repeat in Maharashtra. This is my open warning as a Hindu. We will not attack first. But at the same time, we will not tolerate such violence and we will show you that we are capable to defend ourselves in the way we want.”
