Ram Navami Communal Clashes, Delhi Violence Cases Reach Supreme Court
NDTV
Communal clashes broke out in five states - Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and West Bengal - during the celebrations of Ram Navami
The matter concerning the clashes between two communities on Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti has reached the Supreme Court seeking its intervention and "impartial" investigation.
Alleging a conspiracy against the Hindu community, advocate and activist Vineet Jindal has filed a Public Interest Litigation or PIL in the Supreme Court seeking an investigation into the clashes by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
In the PIL, Mr Jindal urged the top court to investigate possible links of ISIS or other international organisations in a bid to instigate Hindus to retaliate as they took out "peaceful" processions to celebrate Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti.
"Events indicate the involvement of terror funding with possible links of ISIS and other anti-national and international organisations to target Hindus across the country with the intent of trying to dis-balance the social structure of India," the plea says.
