As Trump talks of 'peace' in India, Delhi police clash with protesters against new citizenship rules that exclude Muslims TrumpInIndia
As President Donald Trump spoke of the need to promote"peace" in a speech launching his two-day visit to India in the city of Ahmedabad in the western state of Gujarat, police in New Delhi were cracking down on protesters rallying against the country's new citizenship bill that offers amnesty to those fleeing persecution–unless they are Muslim.
Asserting that both the U.S. and India were"committed to working together to stop terrorists" from entering their countries and to fighting"their ideology," the president then said that his own administration was also working"in a very positive way with Pakistan to crack down on the terrorist organizations and militants that operate on the Pakistani border," as the crowd broke out in cheers.
While Trump spoke of peace, however, a very different scene was playing out in the streets of New Delhi, where major clashes erupted across the city as protesters rallied against India's new bill offering amnesty to non-Muslim undocumented immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
