Arfa Khanum shares Hinduphobic post to mock the new parliament; deletes the tweet later after massive backlash
On Thursday (1st August), Arfa Khanum Sherwani of The Wire stirred the hornet’s nest after she resorted to brazen Hinduphobia to settle political scores.
In a tweet, she wrote, “Vision 2047.” The propaganda artist used the iconic poster from the 2015 movie ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ wherein the male protagonist Shivudu (played by Prabhas) is seen lifting a giant Shivling using his bare hands.
Arfa Khanum not only replaced the picture of Prabhas with Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla but went a step ahead to desecrate the sacred Hindu representation of Lord Shiva.
The senior editor of the leftist propaganda portal, The Wire, replaced the Shivling with a dustbin. Arfa Khanum Sherwani had no qualms about vilifying the Hindu Faith and hurting the religious sentiments of a billion Hindus.
This is however not the first time that she has deliberately mocked Hindu beliefs. In the past, the propaganda artist had shared derogatory cartoons showing Lord Ram persecuting a Dalit man.
Arfa Khanum Sherwani had also posted provocative tweets, making ‘gaumutra’ and ‘gobar’ jibes. For the unversed, these terms were mainstreamed by Pulwama attacker and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist, Adil Ahmed Dar. to dehumanise the Hindu community.
Interestingly, Arfa Khanum Sherwani was seen dog-whistling against former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma in 2022 after she quoted Hadiths to point out the relationship between Prophet Muhammad and his wife Aisha during a TV debate.
The senior editor of The Wire had not only attempted to provoke Indian Muslims against Nupur Sharma but also sought legal action against her.
“A national spokesperson of the ruling party BJP uses the most derogatory words for the Prophet of Islam on national television. He is my Prophet and the Prophet of 200 million Indian Muslims,” she tweeted on 28th May 2022.
The propaganda artist further added, “Strictest punishment should be given to her as per the law of the land.”
