NEW DELHI: A massive protest erupted outside Delhi's
Jama Masjid
after Friday prayers against the controversial remarks made by BJP spokesperson
Nupur Sharma against Prophet Mohammed.
The protesters demanded the arrest of Nupur Sharma. Scores of people, carrying placards, shouted slogans against her.
A senior police officer said that while some of the demonstrators left the site after some time, others continued to protest.
Delhi Police has registered an FIR against 31 people, including AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and controversial priest Yati Narsinghanand, and filed a separate case against former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for allegedly spreading hate and hurting religious sentiments.
The two FIRs were registered on Wednesday after a social media analysis, they had said.
Former Delhi BJP media unit head Naveen Kumar Jindal, who was expelled from the party over his alleged remarks against Prophet Mohammed, and journalist Saba Naqvi have been named in the FIR.
