Police in India opened fire on protesters in the eastern city of Ranchi yesterday as hundreds of Muslims took to the streets again to condemn the anti-Muslim comments of two ruling party officials.
Police have killed two protesters with guns and arrested more than 120 others on the second day of protests against the offensive of Hindu officials against the Muslim Prophet Mumamed.
Widespread outrage has gripped the Muslim minority in India when a spokeswoman for Prime Minister Narendra Modi made offensive religious comments during a heated televised debate.
A police spokesman in Ranchi said: “Police were forced to open fire to disperse the protesters, resulting in the death of two of them.”
Police used tear gas to disperse at least one gathering in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
In other demonstrations in India large crowds burn the effigy of Prime Minister Nupur Sharma’s spokeswoman – who has already been ousted from office.
