New Delhi (Samaj Weekly)- The Delhi Police have detained over 40 activists who had gathered today at Jantar Mantar to protest the incendiary Islamophobic slogans raised at the same venue on Sunday.
It’s reprehensible that the police let a large hateful Hindutva mob gather in the heart of the city and allowed to spew anti-Muslim venom, including calls for violence, with complete impunity. While it took the police two days to identify and detain the vile inciters, they took no time to apprehend a small gathering of peaceful protestors.
We condemn this high-handedness and blatant patronage of bigotry by Delhi Police. We demand that the detained activists must be immediately released, and those who are openly advocating bloodshed must be booked under stringent sections of the law.
