India: Idol of Saraswati vandalized inside government school days after pro-hijab protests By Robert Spencer

Jihad Watch : The culprit here is a real mystery. What group in India believes idols are an abomination and an offense against Allah? It’s a head-scratcher.  “Karnataka: Days after pro-Hijab Muslim students protested against Saraswati Puja, Saraswati idol vandalised in Belagavi’s school,” OpIndia, March 26, 2022:

Two separate incidents of desecration of idols of Hindu deities have been reported in Karnataka. In Chikkodi taluk of Belgaum district, some unidentified miscreants have vandalised the idol of Saraswati idol present inside the government primary school.

From the photographs, it can be seen that the marble idol has been severely damaged in the attack. Two of the four hands have been broken, the Veena is broken, and several marble slabs and pieces can be seen lying around the tiled platform. According to the reports, the incident occurred on Thursday evening at the government primary school in the Chinchani village of Chikkodi taluk. The school authorities became aware of the desecration of the Saraswati idol on Friday. They have now lodged a complaint with the Chikkodi police.

The Chikkodi police visited the site and inspected the school premises on Friday. The situation became tense after the incident, and a police team has been deployed to prevent any untoward incident….

Interestingly, the attacks on Saraswati idols inside school premises comes weeks after several Muslim girl students protesting against the hijab ban in Karnataka’s schools had objected to government schools and colleges celebrating Saraswati pooja.
