What happened: A Senior Correspondent for The Print India, Fatima Khan, tweeted something disturbing about a website offering “Sulli Deals”. Muslims in India are often referred to as Sulla or Sulli in a derogatory manner.
Didn't check Twitter last night. Woke up this morning to realise my name, along with those of many other Muslim women was up on GitHub as a list of "Sulli Deals". Thankfully by the time I came across it, it had been taken down. But just the screenshots sent shivers down my spine. pic.twitter.com/CGXivEyjyC

How is this acceptable? What will be the punishment, if any, meted out to the people who made this list? Muslim men are lynched, Muslim women are harassed and sold online. When will this end? @github @NCWIndia

The reactions on Twitter were that of anger, disgust, and surprise:
This is so horrifying. So sorry this happened Fatima.

They need to be taught a lesson for life, Govt. Should identify the culprits and should give them exemplary punishment..It's now a trend to disrespect and harass any person anytime because they know they are not going to be punished at all…

IT Minister's silence is deafening.
His usual diatribes over inconsequential matters, stand in stark contrast.— PArti (@artiprakash) July 6, 2021
