A legislator from Shiv Sena, a far-right regional party allied with the BJP, forced a Muslim cafeteria employee to eat bread during the Ramadan fast.

事实上，莫迪上台后，几乎马上出现了攻击印度少数派尤其是穆斯林的局面。来自与印度人民党结盟的极右翼地区政党湿婆神军党（Shiv Sena）的立法者强迫穆斯林自助餐厅雇员在斋月期间吃面包。普纳（Pune）的一位年轻的穆斯林技术工人更惨，他因为完全与他无关的冒犯性社交媒体言论而惨遭“报复”，被殴致死。
