Kuwait is planning to deport expats who protested against anti-Islamic remarks.

Kuwait has announced that expats who took part in a protest over suspended BJP spokeswoman Nupur Sharma’s statements about Prophet Muhammad will be deported. The decision was made because the demonstrators broke Kuwaiti legislation, which prevents expats from holding sit-ins or protests, according to the article.

According to the article, the authorities are in the process of “arresting expats and referring them to the deportation centre to be deported to their countries.” The expats would be barred from returning to Kuwait.

According to the report, all expats in Kuwait must obey Kuwaiti regulations and refrain from participating in any form of demonstration.

The report makes no note of the nationality of the protestors.

The remarks made by suspended BJP politician Nupur Sharma about Prophet Muhammad sparked widespread outrage in the Gulf, with Arab governments summoning Indian envoys in the region to register strong concerns.

India has rejected the remarks as the work of “fringe groups,” claiming that individuals who made offensive remarks about minorities on Twitter have been harshly punished.

The report makes no note of the nationality of the protestors.

“Ambassador Sibi George had a meeting in the Foreign Office in which concerns were raised with regard to some offensive tweets by individuals in India,” the Spokesperson of the Embassy of India in Kuwait said in response to a media query about the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ statement on offensive tweets in India.

Those who made disparaging remarks have already faced severe consequences. Concerned parties also released a statement expressing respect for all religions and condemning insults to religious figures or denigration of any religion or group. People have been incited by vested interests who are opposed to India-Kuwait relations by making insulting remarks.
