Donald Trump in India: Ten killed in Delhi demostrations during visit
Donald Trump’s visit to Delhi has been overshadowed by deadly
protests that have continued to engulf India’s capital, as Muslim and
Hindu groups clashed violently and the death toll rose to eleven.
The bloody violence, which has left the streets of north-east Delhi
in flames and continued to escalate on Tuesday, has so far left one
policeman and ten civilians dead, and over 150 injured.
Speaking at a press conference in Delhi on Tuesday evening before he
left India, Trump said he had not brought up the violence with prime
minister Narendra Modi,
saying he would not comment on “individual cases”. I am very worried about the prevailing situation in certain parts of
Delhi,” Kejriwal tweeted. “All of us together should make all efforts to
restore peace in our city. I again urge everyone to shun violence.”
A section 144 order, which prevents gatherings of more than four
people, was imposed on various areas in the north-east of Delhi where
the violence was concentrated and schools in the area have been closed.
However, on Tuesday, the clashing religious mobs were once again out on
the streets in north-east Delhi.
