NEW DELHI - At least 19 people have been killed in the Indian capital during clashes between opposing protesters over a new citizenship law, a senior hospital official told Reuters on Wednesday, even as an eerie calm descended on some riot-torn areas of New Delhi. “There are 15 patients in critical condition,” the hospital official from the Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital told Reuters, adding that a total of 19 people had now died at the facility. Police used tear gas and smoke grenades, but struggled to disperse stone-throwing crowds.
The clashes, which coincided with a visit to India by U.S. President Donald Trump, erupted early this week between thousands demonstrating for and against the new citizenship law introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist led government. Critics say the law is biased against Muslims and undermines India’s secular constitution.
Hindus are terrorist
What's wrong with Muslims blocking roads and wanting to occupy other peoples?
本是同根生 相煎何太急
本是同根生 相煎何太急
May the soul rest in peace.
I'm from Delhi, Roads are blocked by Muslim community from last 2 months, when they started to block another road for the protest, issues started thereafter. When police stopped them then they pelted stones, burnt cars. Local Hindus started response after, which leads to riots.
Please report correctly, Muslims are only victims here. It's not a clash but a planned genocide .
We Indians are fighting ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS inside our country!
Where is the Arab nation, where is the UN , where are the Muslim countries, the terrorist who brought Modi to international court? What is the reason why the international community does not take action against heretics? Indian Muslims have no choice but to take up arms.
Both sides-omg this one I see
Don’t say new citizenship law and mislead! The law does not affect the Indian citizens at all!

India is a democracy within democratic values...Right wing nazi like hindu mobs are ruining India into civil war
Clashes? You are misleading the people. Hindu fascists attack to the innocent Muslim civilians. They are trying a massacre. They are like the NAZI gangs attacking to the Jewish people. But you are not telling the truth because they are killing Muslims. Killing Muslims is good?
When Kashmiris are oppressed So Indian Muslims never gave any moral support to Kashmiris And always supported the Hindu government Now they also run away
Media is responsible for these riots. There were are the ones Instigating Muslim community to riot to damage current govt.
Fact is :Death Toll have been risen to 500 while number of injured are in thousands. Govt is trying its best to hide facts as they are doing in Kashmir. media should fulfill its democratic duty.. Delhi:Kashmir 2.0
Islam means piece 😍
Fake only 7 dead
