Indians protest against recent attacks targeting Muslims
‘Thousands of Indians gathered in several cities on Wednesday to protest against recent attacks targeting Muslims across the country.
In the capital New Delhi, demonstrators, including the elderly and parents with young children, sang songs and lit candles in remembrance of those Muslims killed by Hindu zealots and cow protection vigilantes.
In the port city of Mumbai, hundreds of people, including some Bollywood actors from the Indian film industry, gathered under umbrellas in pouring rain.
Mass protests were also reported in several other cities across India. Demonstrators chanted slogans against the killings and carried placards that read, “Not in my name.”
Protesters decried the silence of the Hindu nationalist government in response to public lynchings and attacks on several Muslim men and boys since it took power in 2014.’
