February 27, 2020

In Indian capital, death toll in anti-Muslim violence has risen to twenty-seven.

According to reports, more than two hundred people have been injured in the violence.

The clashes first broke out on Sunday between protesters for and against a controversial citizenship law.

Delhi remains on edge after three nights of rioting, with reports of Muslim homes and shops being targeted by violent mobs.

India's main opposition Congress party has demanded the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah and blamed him for the violence.
