If there is a sudden emergence in the country out of nowhere, it’s then created. Fear is better created than it naturally occurs. Fear is the most powerful weapon to silent mankind, leading them to the path of ignorance.
The delhi riots was a selective genocide. It’s was pogrom. A pogrom is a state sponsored persecution of a particular community. And the same thing happened in Delhi.
From being a anti caa vs pro caa riot to a complete communal riot, here’s how it went. Streets were littered with scraps of bricks; black smoke from fires had filled up the sky. Every couple of minutes, there was a cry from somewhere. Stones were hurled and, often, people emerged out of crowds with an injured, bleeding head. Throughout all of this, men and women patrolled, with sticks in their hands, threatening to beat up journalists, outsiders, and anyone who dared to shoot a photograph or a video. Outnumbered, the stick-wielding, helmet-wearing police stood on one side of the road.
Some educated illiterates then came up saying that the government is too naive to be involved in this riot, and the riot is happening from both the sides.
The Delhi pogrom of 2020 is state-sponsored. Anyone who cannot see that is pretending to be blind. In numerous accounts, videos and photos, we see the Delhi Police purportedly aiding and abetting the violence, either by looking away or actually participating in it.
When the Jaffrabad protest site was cleared, a top BJP-RSS leader declared victory. B.L. Santhosh is the BJP’s general secretary (organisation), a post reserved for the RSS representative. Here was his tweet just as news came in of the Jaffrabad site being cleared:
Santhosh then deleted this tweet, to remove “game starts now” and replace it with “time to enforce law in its entire spirit” in a new tweet.
Hindu Army Chief, Manish Yadav, can be heard on record saying, “5 मिनट के लिए पुलिस हटा दो, हम दिल्ली को इस्लाम मुक्त कर देंगे. (remove police for 5 minutes, we will make delhi Islam free)”
BJP Spokesperson Sambit Patra “Hindu jago warna katne ke liye taiyyar ho jaao”. If this is not a provocation to genocide, what is ?
The northeast Delhi pogrom of 2020 serves another purpose. It is Amit Shah’s way of reminding everyone that the Delhi election results mean nothing, and that Arvind Kejriwal is a nobody. Kapil Mishra is Amit Shah’s answer to the Delhi electorate. It’s his way of saying who’s boss. It’s a catharsis of the anger of the defeat of Delhi.
The bjp had issued a warning previously, by their goli maro remark, this very much state sponsored genocide reveals Amit Shah’s response to an election defeat
If you still believe in the both side argument or Aap’s pseudo helplessness or govt is naive, then u better be apolitical.
I mean are you seriously telling me to believe that this is a two side ruckus. No. It isn’t. Your desperate act of balancing cannot cease the truth.
Get rid of your ignorance and accept that your non-muslim identity is a privilege.
For humanity’s sake, stop this nonsense argument.
I am the last person to believe this is a both side riot.
Just because there hasn’t been any caste discussions in your family, doesn’t makes your family progressive. It’s because you are upper caste.
Same goes for you not having to face lynchings or abuses. It’s because u r hindu.
I would like to bring to your attention some more consequences and facts about this Delhi riots, which either has been hidden from you or represented with false propaganda.
1) Are you Hindu or Muslim?’: TOI photojournalist recounts Maujpur horror.
Hindu Mahasabha leader threatened a times of India journalist to take off his pants to confirm his religion.
He then folded his hands and said the he was just a lowly photographer. They then gave him a few threats, but let him go.

2)
A mob chased three members of the minority community — a boy who appeared to be a teenager, a middle-aged man, an older man. They not only punched and slapped the trio but also attacked them with sticks.
When the teenager tried to flee the spot, they dragged and thrashed him when the old man tried to save him. The boy then managed to run away after which the mob roughed up the old man. A few minutes later, they let him go. The middle-aged man, in an attempt to run away from the spot, injured himself.
3)A mini truck, driven by a member of a minority community, which was coming towards the 5th Pushta Road was stopped by a mob. The mob caught hold of the driver while he was trying to jump a divider and roughed him up. On seeing this, another set of people came to the spot and started beating the driver while chanting “Jai Shri Ram”. One of them said: “Maaro saale ko [thrash him]”. The vandalised vehicle was seen lying on the side of the road.
4) A mini truck driven by a member of a minority community carrying nearly 10 persons was stopped by a mob. As they started attacking the occupants, some of them tried to jump over the truck and run to the fields on the other side of the road but a part of the crowd caught hold of some of them and thrashed them mercilessly. A person started bleeding and subsequently ran away. This vehicle too stood vandalised.
5) As the melee raged, a middle-aged woman who was de-boarding an autorickshaw near Khajuri Khas junction, asked a reporter: “Should I remove my burqa and cross the road?” She then removed the black veil and walked on.
6) Houses in Chand Bagh were surrounded by armed right wing goons right now. They tried to enter the houses under cover of tear gas. Men outside tried to keep them out, there were only women inside. Sexual violence was committed on these women. Police were not responsive to emergency calls from them. Lawyers were unable to reach out because mobs surrounded the area.
7) At Maujpur, 53-year-old Rajesh Bhasin had just returned from the hospital after getting his head injury bandaged. Bhasin, who runs a confectionery business, said that they were tired of the protests and the road blockades across Delhi—in Shaheen Bagh, Jaffrabad, and other areas—and decided to protest against them. “We were chanting Jai Shri Ram, Bharat Mata ki Jai slogans when a mob came with swords and attacked us,” he said.
8) Tayaab Ansari, a native of Bihar, who lives in the Gonda Chowk area of Delhi, hasn’t gone back home in the last three days. On Sunday, he left home to get his eyes tested at Shastri Hospital in north-west Delhi. When he came back, the violence had escalated so much that, he said, there was no way he could cross the Hindu-dominated neighbourhood of Maujpur to get back home. “I need medicines, I am in pain. I need to go home,” he said. Neither Tayaab nor his family, who had been in touch with him only through phone calls, had got any sleep.
9) The sleepless protesters at Jaffrabad were disappointed at the media for branding them “rioters”. One of them scrolled down his phone gallery to show video footage from that area. “Look, the police is with them! They helped them bring those bricks.” One of the protesters then got a call from a Muslim friend who stays in the Hindu neighbourhood. “A mob has surrounded his house. How do we help him get out of there?” Another resident responded, “We can’t do anything. We can’t even go there. They will beat us up.” Another assured, “The Hindus in the neighbourhood will save him. He is a good man.”
10) As graphic images of crowds of men rioting in the national capital lit up social media platforms this week, one particular clip stood out: A shaky cellphone video of a man planting a saffron flag atop the minaret of a mosque in Ashok Nagar, a neighbourhood in northeast Delhi.
Further, Masjid Maula Baksh mosque in Ashok Nagar, Chand mosque in Ashok Nagar, Arabia Madinatul Uloom mosque in Golakpuri, and the mazaar in Chand Bagh were burnt down.
11) Mohammed Akbar Qureshi was barricaded in his home with his family when a gang of men kicked down his door and flung in a burning jute sack at about three in the afternoon. Ashok Nagar, where Qureshi lives, is just over two kilometers from Gokulpuri.
12) It was just four months ago that 20-year-old Shazia came to Delhi to marry her “doting husband” Shahid. Now, two-month pregnant Shazia waits for her husband’s body, which will be taken to their native town, Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh. But his dead body returned instead, with blood besprent all over his body. She continues to stare at the green bangles Shahid brought for her Sunday, a day before he was killed, and bursts into loud cries every few minutes. “What will I do now? What will I do with this child?”
13) Mubarak Hussain’s blood-smeared body was lying on the streets of Babarpur’s Vijay Park colony for at least three hours after he was shot dead in the violence. They made 100 calls to the police. But forget about the police, even an ambulance didn’t come. Originally from Bihar’s Darbhanga, Mubarak was a labourer who had been living in Delhi for the last 10 years.
14) Nazeem, a 35-year-old, has left behind six children and a wife. Here’s what his wife said, “Uska kabadi ka kaam tha… Kabhi itne paise hi nahi the ki pradarshan mein hissa lene ka waqt milta (He used to pick up garbage… He didn’t have enough money to take part in any protests),” he said. “Woh toh ration lene gaya tha (He had gone to fetch ration).”
15) A Delhi Police constable has been killed, as has an Intelligence Bureau official. The 48 dead (so far) include people from both religions — but more Muslims. When mass violence is provoked against a community, the community strikes back in defence. That’s how it becomes a riot, spun as an ‘equal fight’ between two sides. Both are then blamed. But the truth is that it is primarily Muslims who have been targeted, Muslim shops burnt, a cemetery desecrated, a mosque taken over, pages of the Quran burnt, and so on.
16) When curfew was announced, schools were closed down. But some got destroyed even.
17) Children belonging to lower middle class families, lost their homes.
18) Photos of the rooftop of Tahir Hussain of the AAP, as taken by a mirror now journalist. Petrol bombs and bricks stored with an obvious intention of causing damage.
19) Hindu Man Battling For His Life After Saving 6 Muslim Neighbours When Mob Burned Their House
There are many stories left to be told…
This were just some, which had the chance to represented in the media… The other enslaved voices are left to be heard.
Ours is a country where we try to protect foreign minorities instead of our own students,
where we first build walls between religion, then comes our most hated anti nationals the indigents.
Well, India, how strange have you been these days!
