Not doing so, they say, runs the risk of damaging India's ties with the Arab world and Iran. Hate speech and attacks against Muslims have risen sharply since the BJP came to power in 2014. Millions of Indians live and work in these countries and send millions of dollars in remittances back home. Senior BJP leaders and other diplomats have also condemned the controversial statement. "The BJP strongly denounces insults of any religious personalities of any religion. The BJP is also against any ideology which insults or demeans any sect or religion. The comments - especially Ms Sharma's - angered the country's minority Muslim community, leading to sporadic protests in some states.
