A violent reaction in India as tensions with Pakistan Soar
The public anger has increased in India after the attack last week in Kashmir in which 26 people, except one of the Hindu tourists, were killed by militants. Thousands of Muslims have stopped the legs and their homes demolished in a growing reaction.
India seemed to be prepared to attack Pakistan, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi promising to hunt the militants and “drag” his safe shelters. A Pakistani minister said Tuesday that Pakistan believed that an Indian strike was incoming.
India has said that Pakistan had a support hand in the attack, an accusation that Pakistan denies.
The murders of the Muslims were reported in two states, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka, with reports of the media that suggest that they were hate crimes. Within Kashmir, the security forces have arrested hundreds and have exploited the houses of the people who have accused of having terrorist affiliations.
Background: The reaction was attacked in Kashmira and soon extended to a broader anti-musulm feeling. That, analysts said, has promoted a demonization of Muslims that Modi’s party has used for a long time to unite the Hindu majority of India.
Related: More than 80,000 Afghan have been expelled of Pakistan since March 31. Many Afghan migrants have Pakistani spouses and have lived in the country for years. However, the government says they must leave.
