With leaders calling for brutal Islamic executions, enforcing Sharia beyond India, and silencing non-Muslims, the Indian National Congress—once a nationalist movement for India’s freedom—has become a political enforcer of Islamist interests, leaving Hindus and Christians to question their future.
Islamic blasphemy laws claimed another victim on January 31, 2025, when Iraqi-born activist Salwan Momika was gunned down in his Södertälje, Sweden, home. Momika, known for publicly burning the Quran, had become a global symbol of free speech resistance against Islamic intimidation—and for that, he was marked for death..
Rather than condemning this assassination as an attack on free speech, the controversial Indian National Congress (INC)—which ruled India for nearly 50 of its 75 years of independence—has exposed its true nature: a party appearing to support Islamic-style public executions.
Sheikh Aamir, a Congress Party spokesperson and a “senior leader” from Jammu and Kashmir, didn’t just celebrate Momika’s assassination—he demanded an even more brutal punishment. Cold-blooded murder wasn’t enough. He wanted public torture, humiliation, and execution straight out of Islamic law. His chilling words?
“I strongly condemn the killing of Salwan. He should have been paraded naked on the streets and stoned to death. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see him dying with my own eyes.”
This isn’t just dangerous rhetoric—it’s an open call for Islamic bloodlust, demanding medieval Sharia executions for those who offend Islam.
Aamir’s shocking comments came in response to RAIR Foundation’s Amy Mek, who had reported Momika’s killing, calling it proof of the growing Islam problem:
Amy Mek: “I feel physically sick. The fact that I even have to report on this is beyond infuriating and heartbreaking! How many more need to be slaughtered before the world stops lying to itself and admits the truth—we have an ISLAM problem.”

After Aamir responded with his chilling call for public torture and execution, outrage spread, and he quickly deleted his tweet—but the damage was done.
Adding to the controversy, Aamir mistakenly listed the wrong X handle for the Congress Party in his bio. While the official Indian National Congress handle is @INCIndia, he instead included @inc, the account of an American company. Once backlash over his threats erupted, he quietly erased any mention of the Congress Party from his profile.

Yet the real question remains: Why has the INC refused to condemn its own spokesperson?
Sheikh Aamir’s Hypocrisy and the Nupur Sharma Controversy
This isn’t the first time Sheikh Aamir has been at the center of such controversies. In 2022, during the uproar over Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s factual comments about Prophet Muhammad’s marriage to his child bride, Aisha, Sheikh Aamir actively called for her arrest after proudly announcing he lodged a police complaint. At a time when Sharma was facing widespread death threats, Aamir led the charge against her, demanding criminal action.
On Facebook, he wrote:
“My conscience rebels against the injustice, the cruelty, the inequality that surrounds me on every side.
I will continue to fight against injustice even if I am alone in this fight for justice and dignity.
#ArrestNupurSharma”
He also posted the following image:
The hypocrisy is glaring. While Aamir wanted Sharma arrested for citing historical facts, he now advocates for the public execution of Salwan Momika—claiming that Momika’s murder wasn’t brutal enough and demanding stoning according to Islamic law. This double standard reveals not only Aamir’s Islamic radicalism but also the INC’s silence in enabling such figures within its ranks.
A Pattern of Islamic Appeasement?
This isn’t the first time the Indian National Congress (INC) has faced accusations of pandering to Islamic fundamentalists. The party has a long history of shielding radical voices while cracking down on critics of Islam.
- 2012: Congress leader Salman Khurshid sparked controversy when he defended the banning of a film deemed offensive by Muslim groups, arguing that freedom of expression should not come at the cost of hurting religious sentiments. His remarks were widely criticized as an attempt to appease hardline groups rather than uphold free speech.
- 2019: Congress’s Mani Shankar Aiyar faced outrage after praising Pakistan’s “respectful handling” of Islam during a panel discussion. Aiyar’s comments, coupled with his criticism of India’s majority, were condemned as prioritizing Islamist narratives over India’s secular fabric.
- 2019 (Citizenship Amendment Act): Congress leaders opposed India’s Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which prioritized persecuted minorities—Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, and others—fleeing religious oppression in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. Their opposition was framed as a defense of secularism, but critics argued it was yet another move to appease their Muslim voter base, as the Act explicitly excluded Muslims.
Now, with Sheikh Aamir openly advocating medieval Islamic punishments, Congress remains silent yet again. Is this silence an oversight—or a deliberate endorsement of Sharia-style justice?
Is the INC Now India’s Islamic Party?
Has the Congress Party completely abandoned secularism? Has it transformed into a political arm enforcing Islamic blasphemy laws against non-Muslims?
The implications for India’s future could not be more alarming. This is the party that claims to protect democracy, yet it openly harbors a spokesperson advocating barbaric punishments straight out of a medieval theocracy.
Would the INC tolerate a similar call for public executions if the roles were reversed?
Would the Indian media, international human rights groups, and so-called secular activists stay silent if a Hindu BJP spokesperson had called for the public torture of a prominent Muslim? Would Muslims be silent?
We all know the answer.
Hindu homes would be burning tonight. Cities would be engulfed in riots, mobs would be out in full force, and every major media outlet would be calling for immediate arrests and criminal charges.
Yet, when an INC leader openly calls for medieval Islamic punishments, the establishment looks the other way. Why?
This isn’t just hypocrisy. It’s a calculated betrayal of India’s majority.
Will the INC Condemn or Silently Endorse Sheikh Aamir’s Bloodlust?
The silence from Congress is deafening. Either they publicly denounce Sheikh Aamir’s horrific statement and expel him immediately, or they stand complicit in his advocacy of Islamic executions.
Notably, Sheikh Aamir is followed by multiple Congress officials and law enforcement officers, none of whom have condemned his statement. His post was deleted only after public outrage, but not a single Congress leader has disavowed him.
Aamir’s repeated Islamic terror rhetoric exposes deeper issues within the INC. This isn’t just one rogue leader—his actions and the party’s deafening silence raise serious concerns about whether the INC is deliberately aligning itself with Sharia and Islamic principles while masquerading as a secular entity. Is this inaction a mere oversight, or is it a calculated strategy to appease Islamic factions at the expense of India’s majority and its democratic values?
Rahul Gandhi Remains Silent as Congress Spokesperson Calls for Brutal Islamic Executions
Congress’s silence isn’t just about Aamir—it’s a reflection of the party’s top leadership. Rahul Gandhi, the de facto face of the INC, has yet to utter a single word against Aamir’s barbaric comments.
Rahul Gandhi, a senior leader of the INC, has remained silent and has not denounced Aamir’s comments. Gandhi is a key figure in the party’s leadership. He is the son of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, making him a prominent member of the Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty.
Gandhi served as the President of the INC (2017–2019) and remains one of its most influential figures, often leading the party’s election campaigns and public messaging. His leadership has been marked by a strong opposition stance against the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
So, India must now ask:
- Is this the party you would ever trust to lead the nation?
- If Congress returns to power, will India see the rise of blasphemy laws and the suppression of free speech in favor of Islamic rule?
- How many more must be sacrificed before India’s people wake up to the truth?
India is at a crossroads. Either it rejects the blood-soaked ideology of Islamic appeasement, or it allows jihadis and violent Muslim mobs to dictate who is silenced, who is punished, and who is executed. The choice is clear—if India values free speech, democracy, and its very survival, the time to act is now.
