A shop burns as a mob sets it on fire during violence between two groups in New Delhi, India, Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020. At least 10 people were killed in two days of clashes that cast a shadow over U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to the country.

On Wednesday, Modi broke his silence on the clashes, tweeting that “peace and harmony are central to ethos. I appeal to my sisters and brothers of Delhi to maintain peace and brotherhood at all times..” The clashes escalated Tuesday, according to Rouf Khan, a resident of Mustafabad, an area in the capital’s northeast.

“I don’t know if our house was burned or not, but when we were running away we heard them asking people to pour kerosene and burn everything down,” Khan said.

Let's forget the violence has been going in since the signing of the CAA. But triggered snowflakes will blame President Trump if the wind blows.

‘Hindu mobs’ - ‘apparently’ you call this journalism?

Figures

Yes, let’s blame the violence on President Trump’s visit. That’s fair

Hahahahaha soooooo he’s to blame for even riots now in India?

So you claim Trump sparked it but it’s been ongoing since Dec? Wonder which way the AP leans?

What a misleading comment. While the violence did coincide with POTUS’ visit the distance from where he spoke and where the violence took place is over 1000 km and according to sources on the ground including Indian media this started before his arrival.

What a flagrantly misleading title. AP has shamelesspy devolved into a promoter of yellow journalism for clicks. Time to unfollow.

Reuters did better than you.

We’re blaming a Trump for problems that already existed in India?!?!? Come on.

Освещайте события в Сирии!!Остановите геницид!Напомните Помпео об необходимости поддерживать союзников по НАТО!!✊💥💥🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲

Hindu 'Mob' and Protesting Muslim. Nicely reported without any bias

There are on average about 48 murders a day in the US. You should be ashamed of yourselves standing on graves and using your hatred towards Trump to push a narrative that's completely nonsensical. Have some integrity.

The AP was once a great news agency. Now... EnemyOfThePeople

That's what Trump knows how to do better... HateSpeech getting people against each other. What a sad human being... His passage in Earth brought nothing goog to anyone...

Remember when millions of dollars were routed from New York bank to the Casino in Asia using stolen NSA exploit (SWIFT) and we only retrieved about half the money while the other half went into India via terrorist cell. Any of that money involved... 🧐🕵️‍♂️

It's not a clash but a planned genocide .

It actually says in your tweet that they were protesting a citizenship law. Did Trump write that law?

Think at this point it’s best to unfollow your site. Lies? Hate? And the longest stretched crap. Speculative far fetched of who what why they at one another. That’s been a issue there and building! Like in all other nations! Pisssssssss poor shot to try make.

Have match, light fire.

Potus has nothing do with this. Conflicts? Assaults? Happening other countries as well. Like a domino effect one after another.

FakeNews

Doubt this is true- you spreading fake news again?

'The violence was apparently set off by President Trump's state visit to India' - of course it was!!!

Reminding us all the everything that trump touches dies.

I believe this to be incorrect. Many on the ground have said the violence is because a new anti-CAA sit-in in Jaffrabad, a Muslim majority neighborhood, happened to be very close to Maujpur, a majority Hindu neighborhood. The tension flared up before trump arrived in India.

Don't call Hindu mobs.callbthem Hindu protesting against road blocks by muslim Mobs/rioters and Muslims are threatening Police personal.

Mob violence is not okay. The law allows people escaping from persecution in Muslim countries to become citizens, which seems very reasonable. Hindus in Pakistan:1.85% but Muslims in in India:14.2%. Doesn’t this strike AP ‘journalists’ as odd and worthy of explanation?

The man really is the spawn of Satan.

Wtf does Trump have to do with this? You dirty, dirty smear merchants

Wait wait I was following you until you tried to blame violence over Indian citizenship laws on realDonaldTrump. Way to keep your bias in check to maintain journalistic integrity.

Ya that’s what did it.

If a Muslim behaves riotously, he is a terrorist and a menace to society. If people from any other religion behave in such a manner, then it's civil disobedience.

siad_eng india govt targeting muslim minority pple muslim in the must take action dictatorship india pm

Wow. That just started when President Trump arrived. Ok.

He does that to people.

Is this how poor have become? You literally told us it was because of a citizenship law then how was it about Trump? I was surprised you waited until the last sentence to blame it on Trump though, was expecting it in the first line. Fake news!

Im pretty sure the Hindus & muslims didn't wait for trumps visit to use murderous violence on each other....India has a reputation....

Watch Bernie’s Sanders and his projected Campaign Tax polices been humiliated for praising Fidel Castro and this has ruined his reputation and made him not measurable to Stand President Trump in the November Elections✅ click on the link below to wactch-:

You literally give the cause to the clashes in the headline and then do a 180 to blame Trump.

Everything trump touches dies.

Horseshit.
