With clashes in Northeast Delhi going out of hand, 27 people have died and 200 injured. PM Modi appeals for peace and brotherhood.
“I appeal to my sisters and brothers of Delhi to maintain peace and
brotherhood at all times,” PM Modi tweeted, in his first reaction to the violence.
Stone-throwing between rival groups, arson and vandalism on Tuesday marked unrelenting violence over citizenship law protests that began on Sunday, with reports of fresh arson and stone-throwing this morning. National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, who has been put in charge of restoring normalcy in the violence-hit parts of Delhi, visited the violence-hit areas to review security this evening and later briefed Home Minister Amit Shah. The Delhi Police said they have registered 18 FIRs and arrested 106 people in connection with the violence, and that the situation is under control now.
