The New York Times report on Delhi violence is open to anyone. The report has not only uncovered the Modi government but Delhi Police has been completely naked in it. Apart from this, a complete living picture of how the land was occupied by the Hindu rebels is presented. READ MORE

He has started with that popular video and behind the scenes that have gone viral on all platforms including social media.

Important news of the country world, now directly on

The report said that Kausar Ali, who used to paint the houses, was going to his house after finishing his work when he got caught in the crowd where Hindu-Muslim mob were throwing stones at each other. During this time, they blocked a road. He was in a hurry to cross the road to the children at his home. So he went to some police officers standing nearby for help. This was his biggest mistake. He said so.

Instead of helping, the officers slammed him to the ground and broke his head. Along with many other Muslims, they started beating him too. They all started bleeding from place to place. They started begging for mercy from the police. But instead of showing some kind of mercy to him, the officer started tattooing him with sticks, making fun of him. Asked him to sing the national anthem. And abused fiercely. Let me tell you that one of these youths of violence died two days later due to internal injury.

Ali said that the policemen were playing with him. Recalling a police statement, he said that “Even if we kill you, nothing will happen to us.”

India is in the grip of so many communal bloody riots after years. Many people are seeing this as the definitive result of extremist Hindutva flourishing under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. His party has adopted a militant brand of Hindu nationalism and its leaders no longer have a chance to openly humiliate Muslims. In recent months, Modi has passed a series of policies that are anti-Muslim at its core. The status of the special state of Jammu and Kashmir, the only Muslim majority state of India, is part of this. Which has been done a few months ago?

Now a lot of such evidence is coming out in which it is seen that the Delhi Police has organized against Muslims in an organized manner and many times actively supported the Hindu rioter mob which has given Muslim houses and Muslim families in Delhi. She was targeted and attacked him. Remind you here that the Delhi Police works directly under the Modi government.

A lot of videos have surfaced in which police officers can be seen throwing stones at Muslim protesters. Along with this, there is also footage of the police inviting them to shake their hands towards the Hindu crowd.

A police commander told the New York Times that as soon as the violence began — most of it started by Hindu miscreants — officers from the affected areas were ordered to deposit their rifles at the police station. Many officers were found saying to each other that they only had sticks during the violence. While he needed guns to control the mob and the rioters. Some researchers are accusing the police force of deliberately deploying fewer officers on the streets. They also had insufficient quantities of guns. This happened at a time when the quarrel after the fight between the contestants had turned into a target, killing Muslims.

Two-thirds of the more than 50 victims of death have been identified as Muslim. Human rights activists are calling it an organized massacre.

However, the Muslim population in India is 14 per cent. But in Delhi, this figure is 13 per cent. While Muslim representation in Delhi Police is less than 2%.

India’s policing culture has been barbaric, biased and anti-minority for a long time and is completely colonial in character. His hegemony of the British rule is still intact, in which the police had no illusions that they had to serve the public. He only had to suppress the disturbed population on the strength of power.

But what has been different from him at this time is that this big machinery of India implementing the law has been politicized on a large scale by the part of PM Modi’s Hindu nationalist government.

Police personnel and especially in states controlled by Modi’s party are highly selective about their targets. For example, the principal of a Muslim school in Karnataka was jailed for two months on charges of treason due to a play played by his students to protest against the newly enacted law. Police officials say that the school’s principal was highly critical of Modi.

Some judges also fell prey to this Hindu nationalist wave. READ MORE

Not only was the case taken by a Delhi judge for expressing surprise at the non-investigation of a provocative speech by a leader of Modi’s party, he was not only taken the case but also transferred to another state. And at the same time, the Supreme Court made many strong arrangements in favour of the ruling party. Arun Mishra, one of those judges, praised Modi publicly as a visionary genius.

All this was strengthening those who raised the flag of Hindu extremism on the road.

Religiously mixed and densely populated, this area of ​​ north-east Delhi is now quiet. But some Hindu leaders can be seen carrying out so-called peace marches in which their heads may be covered with white medical tape. It is part of an attempt to change the whole narrative. In which the conspiracy to po rtray Hindus as victims are hidden. Its basic purpose is to deepen hatred against Muslims.

Some Muslims, who have lost all their faith in the police, are leaving their homes. About 1000 people internally displaced are taking shelter in a camp.

Muslim leaders see the violence as a state-sponsored campaign to teach them a lesson. India’s Muslim population woke up in December after the Hindu mob brutally murdered Muslims in lynchings and their political power was taken away by the Modi government. And she roamed the streets with other Indians against the new citizenship law. This law empowers people of all religions living in South Asia except Muslim to gain citizenship in India.

Muslim leaders say that the Modi government wants to push the entire community back and pacify them.

Omar Khalid, a Muslim activist, said that “there is a way to this madness.” “The government wants to make the entire Muslim community stand on its knees. In which he begged him for his life and livelihood. “

Citing his basic books written by Hindu nationalists, he said that you can read all this in his books. They believe in the fact that the Muslims of India should live permanently in fear.

In some of his tweets, Modi has not said much since the massacre, besides appealing for peace. Dismissing the charge of anti-Muslim bias against him, the Delhi Police said that they tried very hard to control the law and order. Which is not considered correct by both Hindus and Muslims living in the neighbourhood.

In a written reply, a police spokesperson MS Randhawa said that the police responded without any religious or other discrimination.

Police officials said that the protesters were hurt by Ali and other Muslims. And the police have defended them. — While the video shows the outright police officers hurting them — police officers insist on a police officer dying and more than 80 injured. In one video, a mob of Muslim protesters can be seen attacking a large number of police officers.

Experts point out that the violence in New Delhi fits a pattern that allows for complete anarchy for a few days — which includes the mass murder of minorities — that is then controlled by the government.

Even during the Congress rule in 1984, Delhi Police pulled itself back for a few days. While more than 3000 Sikhs were killed by the mob during that time.

In the same way, the same thing happened during the Congress rule in Mumbai in 1993. When more than 100 Muslims were killed in the riots.

Hundreds of Muslims were killed in 2002 by a mob of riotous Hindus during Modi’s tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister. Modi was then accused of associating with the rioters, but later the court gave him a clean chit.

Many retired police officers have said that during communal violence, the rule is that maximum force is deployed and there are a lot of arrests. But none of these followed in Delhi.

A former commissioner, Ajay Raj Sharma termed the police performance as beyond any interpretation. This cannot be forgiven.

When the violence started on 23 February — as the Hindu crowd gathered and tried to forcibly remove the Muslims who were protesting peacefully — there was a lot of bipartisanship in it. At the end of the day, there were attacks on both Hindus and Muslims. And dozens were shot with hand made pistol.

But by 25 February, the direction had changed completely. The Hindu rioters were absolutely hysterical and targeted Muslim families. And there was violence all over the place.

Police officers remained mute spectators when Hindu crowds were looking for Muslims for murder with a saffron bandage on their foreheads, a baseball bat in their hands and iron rods. The whole sky was filled with smoke. The houses, shops and mosques of Muslims were set on fire.

The day a reporter from the New York Times tried to talk to a local resident standing near the police officer, a crowd of some stared and snatched the notebook from his hand and tore it. When the reporter asked the police officer for help, one of them said, “I can’t.” These young boys are very dangerous. “

Amit Shah’s home ministry has come under severe criticism for this failure of the police. However, the police are denying that they had received any directive from the rioters not to act strictly against them. When the New York Times tried to contact the Home Ministry several times in this matter, it did not respond.

Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, Amit Shah assured to take action against all the criminals without any discrimination related to any religion, caste or political relation. He defended the police and termed the violence as a conspiracy. Along with this, it was also said that the investigation has also revealed the relationship with the Islamic State.

Others have also questioned the role of the police. Former MP Shahid Siddiqui said that the Indian police are very colonial and racist. Police behaviour is very violent and aggressive towards the weak.

About 80% of India’s population is Hindu. And Hindus gangs roamed many areas of Delhi and threatened to leave the Muslims before Holi.

When a Muslim woman named baby opened her door after being knocked down a few days ago, she found 50 people standing in front of her with a notebook writing door-to-door addresses of Muslims. He kept his belongings and might leave Delhi soon.

He said, “O Allah why didn’t you make me a Hindu?” His voice was shivering. “Is it my fault that I was born into a Muslim family”?
