Delhi clashes: 20 killed as Hindu and Muslim groups clash

[New World Explorer]

Delhi remains on edge after the third consecutive night of rioting, with reports of Muslim homes and shops being targeted by violent mobs.

Twenty people have been killed so far in the deadliest violence the Indian capital has seen in decades.

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

But they have since taken on communal overtones, with reports of people being attacked based on their religion.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has described the situation as "alarming" and demanded that "the army should be called in".

Photographs, videos and accounts on social media paint a chilling image of a city on the edge. There are reports of arson, of groups of men with sticks, iron rods and stones wandering the streets and of Hindus and Muslims facing off.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-51639856

 What a sick world. I'm surrounded by churches and a Muslim center and they know me as loving them. Thank God we have the truth that  teaches us to love all.
