The protestors demanded Nupur Sharma, and others who make such statements, must be charged under provisions of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Demanding immediate arrest of suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma over her alleged objectionable remarks about Prophet Mohammad, protests were held in some areas of Gujarat's Ahmedabad and Vadodara cities on Friday.
Shops and markets in Dariyapur and Karanj areas here remained shut as part of the protest. In Dariyapur, several Muslim men and teenagers gathered on the main road with placards proclaiming love for Prophet Mohammad and demanding the arrest of Sharma.
They said Nupur Sharma, and others who make such statements, must be charged under provisions of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Former councillor Hasan Khan Pathan said Ms Sharma's remarks had hurt Muslims across the world but the government was yet to take any action against her.
