In Delhi’s Jahangirpuri, locals alleged that the far right-wing activists had been doing rounds of the locality with loud music and raising provocative slogans like ‘Bharat mai rehna hai toh Ram Ram kehna hai’, but the Muslims did not react to all this.

“It was around evening time that they tried to enter a mosque in the Jahangirpuri area of Delhi and abused Muslims to which we objected. They climbed atop the mosque to hoist a saffron flag there, but we did not allow it, after which they threw stones on us,” the local said.

Initially Muslims did not respond when the rallies were going on throughout the day, he said, adding, “After Muslims objected to the hoisting of the flags, they attacked Muslims with stones, sticks and other weapons, after which Muslims in self-defence threw rocks at them.”
