New Delhi: Delhi Police today prevented a group of Muslim organizations from holding protest outside the Myanmar Embassy. Several Muslim bodies had called for a march to the Embassy of Myanmar against the killings of Rohingya Muslims in that country.
According to eye witnesses, as a bus full of protesters were leaving from Delhi’s Jamia Nagar area, a police took control of the bus and sat on the driver’s seat. The bus was then diverted to the Chanakyapuri Police station.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Zafrul Islam Khan, president, All India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat and Editor of English fortnightly The Milli Gazette, condemned the police action in preventing them from a ‘symbolic peaceful protest.’
SQR Ilyas, General Secretary of Welfare Party of India, lamented on the fact that even most Muslim countries are silent against the oppressions of the Rohingya Muslims, despite UNHCR calling them situation grave and terming them as the most oppressed minority community.
