Gersen: In the Indian state of Uttarakhand, Hindu extremists set fire to the house of former Muslim Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid.
Of Algeria Reports According to reports, Hindu extremists attacked the house of former foreign minister Salman Khurshid in Nainital, Uttarakhand and then set it on fire.
Confirming the incident, Indian police said that a book by Salman Khurshid was published last month in which he termed Hindu nationalism as extremist and criticized the policies of Modi government.
According to police officials, a group of local Hindu extremists gathered outside Salman Khurshid’s house on Monday and chanted slogans.
Eyewitnesses said that Hindu extremists aggravated the situation in the presence of police. “Policemen were silent spectators when they set fire to the main door of Salman Khurshid’s house.”
Neighbors told local media that Hindu extremists opened fire in the presence of police, set Salman Khurshid on fire and entered the house threatening his daughter-in-law with dire consequences.
دوسری جانب ہنگامہ آرائی ختم ہونے اور شدت پسندوں کے منتشر ہونے کے بعد پولیس نے راکیش کپل نامی ہندو انتہا پسند رہنما سمیت 20 مزید افراد کے خلاف مقدمہ درج کرلیا، دو روز گزر جانے کے باوجود اب تک کوئی گرفتاری عمل میں نہیں لائی گئی۔
