State-sponsored terror in Delhi will have disastrous consequences: PM Imran

Warns carnage of Muslims in Delhi will lead to the radicalisation of the 200mn Indian Muslims

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday reiterated that the international community must intervene or else the carnage of Muslims and the state-sponsored terror in India would have dire consequences.

Indian police detained hundreds of people and were keeping a heavy presence in northeast New Delhi, days after the worst bout of sectarian violence in the capital in decades.

At least 38 people were killed and hundreds more injured in the worst sectarian violence in Delhi, as groups of Hindus and Muslims clashed.

The violence began after weeks of protests over a citizenship law that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government introduced in December, which eases the path to Indian citizenship for minority groups from neighbouring Muslim-majority countries.

PM Imran, time and again, had tried to warn the world that it must accept the brutal reality of the Modi's fascist and racist regime. He had been repeatedly saying that Modi’s Hindu Supremacist agenda was akin to the Nazi pogrom of Jews in the 1930s.

Critics say the law is biased against Muslims and undermines India’s secular constitution. Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party has denied having any bias against India’s 180 million Muslims.
