Publication house Bloomsbury India which has come under fire for pulling the plug on the book "Delhi Riots 2020: The Untold Story" was also slammed by social media users for publishing a book glorifying the Shaheen Bagh protests.

The controversial Shaheen Bagh protest which has been termed as Jihad By Other Means was allegedly funded by the radical Islamist organisation Popular Front of India.


Bloomsbury India meanwhile posted on twitter promoting its book on the protests titled, "Shaheen Bagh: From A Protest To A Movement" written by Ziya Us Salam and Uzma Ausaf, wherein it termed the protests as "glorious" and a "metaphor for resistance".

"The authors take us on this glorious journey of the making of Shaheen Bagh and how it became a metaphor for resistance, spawning a hundred Shaheen Baghs across the country to restore the sanctity of the Constitution, the national flag & the national anthem", wrote Bloomsbury.
