Mazhar Farooqi is facing harassment over social media for reporting stories about Indian expats posting Islamophobic content on their social media pages.

He is receiving threats like “We Will Kill Your Daughters”.

Mazhar Farooqi said that he had received countless threatening messages and calls from VOIP from unknown people who threatened him to kill his daughters.

Who had been running harassment campaign against Farooqi are followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in social media

While talking to Clarion India, Farooqi said he is feels he is being targeted because he has Muslim name and the people who have attacked him think that he has an agenda against a particular community. Most of the people who got in trouble for the Islamophobic posts in the Gulf countries come from Hindu community and appear to be followers of the rightwing politics.
