The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On July 7th, Arun Yadav, a leader in charge of IT cell, a cyber unit responsible for spreading propaganda, representing the Haryana state unit of India's ruling BJP party, was removed from his position due to old tweets "offending Islam." It is speculated that BJP expelled Yadav because of a controversial tweet that he made against Islam in 2017, which roughly translates to "I see the prophet in my liquor." Critics accused Yadav of insulting Prophet Mohammad and Islam and spreading hatred. There was an online campaign on Twitter that demanded that Arun should be arrested for his controversial statements. BJP's state secretary Gulshan Bhatia declared Yadav's removal from his position via an official statement. However, he is still a BJP party member and was not arrested, nor has anyone filed a police complaint against him. Many compared Yadav's case with that of Alt News co-founder Mohammad Zubair who was arrested on June 27th for a tweet he made in 2018. Numerous people said that the two men received disparate treatment; Zubair was arrested for allegedly hurting Hindu religious sentiments, yet Yadav hasn't faced legal consequences.
