We are witnessing continuous increase in attacks on Hindu saints and Hindus in society, insult of Hindu deities and culture, Police and administration trying to suppress Hindus by taking unwarranted action for sporting saffron flags on their shops and vehicles. All these things are happening even though Hindus are majority in India and most of the media channels and pseudo-seculars are ignoring them. Recently Police in Indur (Nizamabad, Telangana) took action against HJS activists distributing fruits and soft drinks (Sharbat) with prior permission of ACP.
As a result of this situation, netizens took to Twitter to raise their concerns and started tweeting with hashtag #StopAttackingSaffron. More than 20,000 tweets were tweeted using this hashtag and this hashtag was in top 20 trends on Twitter in India for several hours. At a time, it also reached on 13th spot and was on the same spot for few minutes.
Here are some of the tweets from the trend :
आज हिंदुत्व हो या भगवा रंग हो उस पर आक्रमण हो रहे है ! बिहार में भगवा झंडा लहराना हो झारखंड में दुकान को हिंदू फल नाम देना हो या फिर @HinduJagrutiOrg के कार्यकर्ताओं ने भगवा रंग की टोपी पहनकर पुलिस को चाय बांटना हो, सभी हिंदुओं पर पुलिस ने कार्रवाई की ! #StopAttackingSaffron pic.twitter.com/E733nwhDPb

तेलंगाना : अनुमति लेकर पुलिसकर्मी, कर्मचारियों को फल देनेवाले @HinduJagrutiOrg के कार्यकर्ताओं के विरुद्ध कार्यवाही – कहा जा रहा है कि उन्होंने भगवे रंग की टोपी पहनी थी, माथेपर तिलक था इसलिये कार्यवाही की।
Hon. @TelanganaDGP क्या भगवी टोपी पहनना अपराध है?

In Nalanda, FIR has been filed for using saffron flags at Hindu shops.
Surprised to see IPC 295A applied, which is for hurting others' religious sentiments.
IPC147 is for rioting, but complaint mentioned no violence at all!
We need to unite to ensure people #StopAttackingSaffron pic.twitter.com/ZUA3hDTpvr— Milind Dharmadhikari ® (@Milind_MMD) May 1, 2020
