Mobs of Hindus and Muslims had clashed on roads and alleyways in northeast Delhi, throwing stones and crude gasoline bombs. At least three mosques were torched, as were scores of homes and businesses. Witnesses said that instead of stopping the violence, police joined crowds shouting Hindu nationalist slogans and fired indiscriminately.

But Muslims have led the opposition to the law. Meanwhile, members of Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party have vilified the protesters, calling them traitors who deserve to be shot and linking them with India’s rival Pakistan. One such leader, Kapil Mishra, helped trigger this week’s violence: He threatened to clear a sit-in conducted by Muslim women, sparking a clash between supporters and opponents of the citizenship law.

The way the police responded to the violence in Delhi points to a troubling conclusion, said Ashutosh Varshney, a political scientist at Brown University who has researched communal clashes in India. “The cops either looked away or participated,” he said. That means there was “state connivance and state culpability — it’s a pogrom,” Varshney said.

Not Indo Guyanese. History records that the violence around elections time in Guyana is mostly done by Afro Guyanese. Some photos of burning and looting was posted recently on this.

My relatives who own businesses in GT are going back. They have to be there to pay the darkies when they come around to burn if PPP wins.  Only in GY.

It is disturbing what is happening in India. A lot of this is being triggered by Hindu right wing nationalists in the BJP. 

I hope that it ends soon. 

It all comes down to Hindu declining numbers and people  jealous over Muslim increase numbers. It is crazy to kill your own race over religion.

The Muslim community holds blame also. We haven’t done enough to remove peoples’ fears of us.

Both sides are to blame. The Muslims should have continue to join Hindus, Christians and others who were protesting with them rather than listen to socalled Leaders who called for violence and disturbance. The Leaders on both sides are to blame. Also, do not forget the Paki ISI has Cells in Muslim Communities that they finance for such events.

There are unconfirmed reports that Pakistan is instigating violence. It's a messy situation.

I will not blame Pakistan. The Indian Intelligence Forces must be able to deter that.

they came batons into the mosque

LIke I said both sides have their Extremists but people need to think for themselves. How on earth can you attack someone you knew all your rears, someone you lived next to all your years?? It takes a special kind of ignorance and illiteracy!!

Is this for real?

Abdul Samar was praying at a mosque in the northeast of India's capital on Tuesday evening when protesters stormed in brandishing weapons, attacking worshipers and setting the building ablaze.

The mob descended on the mosque in the Ashok Nagar neighborhood of New Delhi chanting praises to a Hindu deity, Jai Shri Ram, before beating up the imam and killing the muezzin, who was leading the call to prayer, Samar told CNN.

"They brought batons and stones inside the mosque and the people outside had guns as well. We had to stop praying and run away," Samar, whose eye was severely injured in the attack, said.

Protesters hoisted a saffron flag, associated with Hindu far-right groups, from the mosque's blackened minaret. The flag was only removed Wednesday morning after a CNN team asked police why it was still hanging there.

 

Tuesday was the third consecutive night of deadly communal clashes in the capital between Hindus and minority Muslims over a divisive new citizenship law.

More than thirty people have been killed since riots broke out on Sunday, according to a hospital spokesperson. It is the worst sectarian violence Delhi has seen in decades

You should not engage in "racist" topics as a Trump supporter. The $150,000 abused tits and countless multiple entries cunny buyer is an extreme racist advised by Stephen Miller, a Jewish racist.

Bai, you talking bout Bill and Weinstein. He donated the most money to crooked Hillary. 

Sean is a devotee...you can't convince them of reality

That’s a lot better than 74 percent of Democrats supporting socialism/communism.
