This comes after a back and forth started with squabbles over the purported presence of hindu artifacts in 17th century mosques alleged to be built over hindu shrines, which led to Arab commentators mocking Hindu priests, which led to the BJP's main spokesperson making a rhetorical statement pointing out how the prophet mohammed married a six year old girl, Aisha, and had sex with her when she was nine years old;

“Should I start mocking claims of flying horses or the flat-earth theory as mentioned in your Quran? You are marrying a 6-year-old girl and having sex with her when she turned 9. Who did it? Prophet Muhammad. Should I start saying all these things that are mentioned in your scriptures?” said Sharma, after being heckled by Taslim Ahmed Rehmani while talking about the longstanding practice of mocking Hindu Gods and Goddesses.
The result has been a big international uproar, with arab countries rushing to boycott Indian products, the Indian government throwing her under the bus and sacking her and running damage control, and a flurry of death threats and calls for retaliation including from high ranking officials of countries like Oman. And already, street clashes have broken out between Hindus and Muslims in Kanpur, with several people injured in the riots.
