Hindus, Muslims and U.S. Trump !

Thirteen people have been killed in Delhi in the deadliest violence the Indian capital has seen in decades.

The clashes first broke out on Sunday, between protesters in favour of a controversial new Indian citizenship law and those against it.

The violence has taken on religious overtones, with Hindu and Muslim groups fighting each other.

The clashes have come during US President Donald Trump's first official visit to the country.

The violence is centred on Muslim-majority neighbourhoods in north-east Delhi

- about 18km (11 miles) from the heart of the capital, where Mr Trump has been holding meetings

with Indian leaders, diplomats and businessmen.

Delhi's newly re-elected chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, called on the federal government to restore order.

"There are not enough police on the streets.

Local police are saying they are not getting orders from above to control the situation," he told reporters.

The capital's police force reports directly to Mr Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)

reporters in north-east Delhi saw Hindu mobs throwing stones and shouting slogans

with some in the crowd shouting "shoot the traitors".

Our correspondent saw plumes of smoke rising from a tyre market that has been set on fire.

In another incident on Tuesday afternoon, a mosque was vandalised in the Shahadra area.

Widely shared footage showed men trying to rip the crescent from the top of the minaret.

When asked about the violence during a press briefing

Mr Trump evaded the issue, saying the incident was :

"up to India" to handle

Soo Chin Tend Old Car and Vee Rot Coe Lee ! hahahahaha

Good Grief ! Imran Khan better do likewise with Russia and China !

except he don't have the $$$ lol

so it gonna have to be a 'Fren" tingy ~

Delhi remains on edge after a third consecutive night of rioting, with reports of Muslim homes and shops being targeted by violent mobs.

Twenty-three people have been killed so far in the deadliest violence the Indian capital has seen in decades.

The clashes first broke out on Sunday between protesters for and against a controversial citizenship law.

But they have since taken on communal overtones, with reports of many Muslims being attacked.

The Delhi High Court, which is hearing petitions about the violence

has said it cannot let "another 1984" happen on its "watch".

In 1984, more than 3,000 Sikhs were killed in anti-Sikh riots in the city.
