In recent month, an increasing number of Indian nationals working in the Gulf’s rich Muslim country have been reportedly fired and forced to leave from UAE for posting Islamophobic messages on social media.
To calm nerves, the PM Modi and the Indian embassies in Gulf states warn its citizens against exacerbated Islamophobic attack on the countries largest minority, Muslims.
