Deadly Delhi clashes

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called for the army to be called in on Wednesday as the Indian capital's worst religious violence in decades entered a third day.

At least 20 people have been killed and 189 others wounded in the clashes between Hindu and Muslim groups over a new citizenship law that began Sunday.

I'm at Mustafabad, near the Loni Border, and new fires (set post-9pm) are burning in front of our eyes - Muslim jhuggis and tempos, according to onlookers - by masked men shouting JSR. Delhi Police are present saying they are unable to intervene.

The clashes coincided with President Trump's two-day visit to India. Muslims in northeast Delhi had staged a protest against the



Citizenship Amendment Act — which allows religious minorities but excludes Muslims from nearby countries to become citizens if they can show they were persecuted for their religion.

Trump told reporters before departing Tuesday that he had "heard about the violence but had not discussed it with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi" because he wanted to leave the issue with Indian authorities.

Modi's Hindu nationalist government has repeatedly blocked internet access in parts of the country that are home to protests against the citizenship law.
