NEW DELHI, February 25: Ten have reportedly died including a policeman and above 150 people have been injured amid clashes in New Delhi on Tuesday in ongoing protests against the citizenship amendment law (CAA).
Videos of desecration of a mosque in India have since gone viral. According to sources , the ongoing protests against the controversial CAA have continued to wreak havoc in the capital of India whilst the law enforcement has declared 10 areas of Delhi to be especially volatile. The British Broadcasting Channel (BBC) has claimed that ambulances carrying the injured for medical treatment are also being targeted by angry mobs who have taken to the streets against the protesters. India’s capital has been a hotbed of protests against the law, which is being viewed as a blatant act of discrimination against Muslims who will largely be deprived of their right to becoming citizens of India. Accusations run amuck that Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are undermining India’s secular traditions. – Agencies
