Security Forces Seek to Hold Calm in New Delhi

VOA News

   Security forces deployed Thursday to parts of India's capital where
   days of clashes between Hindus and Muslims killed at least 32 people
   and injured more than 200 others.

   The personnel patrolled streets in northeastern New Delhi seeking to
   prevent new eruptions of violence after Prime Minister Narendra Modi
   appealed for calm.

   Opposition leaders criticized the government for not doing enough to
   contain the violence, and on Thursday the main opposition Congress
   party called for Home Minister Amit Shah to resign, accusing him of
   abdicating his duty.
