HRW calls on India to prevent sectarianism

NEW YORK: Human Rights Watch on Tuesday called on the Indian government to take urgent steps to maintain calm following an attack on a holy compound in north India claimed by both Hindus and Muslims. “Political and religious leaders should urge Indians to remain calm and use responsible language in their public pronouncements at this delicate moment,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “Otherwise, political or religious manipulation could inflame the situation and lead to the kind of violence that has engulfed whole communities in earlier riots.” afp
