In his post, Asri uploaded a report from a news portal, presstv.com, which claimed that a group of Hindu “cow vigilantes” had attacked a Muslim family in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir, injuring the family members, including a young girl.
Above the uploaded article, Asri wrote as a caption: “Read about the fate of our fellow Muslims or at least of our fellow human beings. Are animals so revered that women and children have to pay the price? What are the most deserving words to describe what is happening in India? And what is the rationale of organisations in Malaysia being loyal to India?”

Last Friday, Asri uploaded a controversial poem criticising “cow worshippers” and defending an unnamed preacher against attempts to hand him over to an “evil government”. This received a lot of flak, especially from the Indian community in Malaysia.
The following day, however, Asri explained on Facebook that the poem he uploaded on Friday was directed at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration for allegedly allowing the killing of Muslims over the slaughter of cows, which the Hindus consider sacred.
He has since taken down the poem.
Asri was also quoted by Malay Mail Online as saying that he will meet the Indian community to explain his controversial poem.
