This doesn't look good. And I reckon there is, sadly, a good chance of a kickback from the Muslim community in the long run once they feel there is no defence for them whatsoever. This could easily involve significant violence as this is one of many incidents, and appears systemic, since the BJP/Modi have taken power. If that happens, which I hope it doesn't but I can't see the BJP changing course, I hope it doesn't spread here as well.
 
As a country I’ve spent a lot of time living/working in over the last 10 years I have to say I’m quite concerned about this. Environmental campaigner Disha Ravi has also been arrested and is imprisoned on sedition charges.

I really hope this isn’t the start of something, it’s a fantastic country with some of the kindest, most hospitable and selfless people I have met of any religion.

I really wouldn't be surprised to see other political parties start to get banned using nefarious means/fake claims in the next few years based on the regularity of such reports as above..

Agreed, it’s not good at all. It also is (in my opinion) completely opposite to the man on the street so to speak. Even friends that are moderate BJP supporters are concerned.

Doesn’t bode well for already strained international relations in the region either.
