Protesters took to the streets in various cities of Afghanistan on Friday against the oppression of Muslims in India. The largest demonstration against the killing of Muslims in the recent New Delhi riots was held in the western Herat province that borders Iran. The protesters burnt Indian flags and raised slogans against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while urging Muslims across the world to unite against the injustice. Mujeeb Rehman Ansari, a prayer leader at a local mosque, led the demonstration. Similar rallies were held in other major urban centers of Afghanistan, including a protest by a leftist party in the capital Kabul. According to local media, over 50 people were killed in violent riots in India’s capital that started last week after clashes between pro- and anti-citizenship law protesters. Police registered over 250 cases and arrested or detained over 900 people in connection with the violence. India passed the controversial citizenship law last December. The legislation grants citizenship to only non-Muslim religious minorities escaping persecution in three neighboring countries — Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. Since then, protests against the new law have been continuing across India. The protestors chanted slogans against India and the speakers condemned Indian brutalities on Muslims in India. In Bangladesh, different religious groups, including Hifazat-e-Islam, Islami Andolan, Khilafat Majlis, staged a protest demonstration in front of Bait ul Mukaram against unprovoked attacks and killing of Muslims in India. The rally comprising around 3,500 protestors chanted slogans against Indian government and expressed solidarity with their Muslim brethren who are under constant wrath of communal riots in India. Earlier, after culmination of Friday prayers, special dua was offered for the victims of New Delhi attacks in particular and persecuted Muslims of India in general. A large number of people including leaders of different religious groups came to join the gathering from surrounding areas of Dhaka. The protestors condemned attacks on mosques, religious seminaries and oppression against Muslims in India.
