In wake of the recent instances of mob violence targeting Muslims over the past few days, people on social media are carrying out a unique campaign, protesting against the of the government’s inability to stop such incidents. They tied a black band on their arm to and came out in support of the peaceful protest.
The campaign started on Saturday but picked up momentum by Sunday.
Hashtags like #StopKillingMuslims, #StopMobLynchings and #EidWithBlackBands kept trending on Twitter as thousands of people are supporting the campaign.
The campaign has garnered much response from the people on Twitter.
