Clashes, arson, stone pelting, shooting, at least nine dead including a policeman and nearly a hundred injured — this was the backdrop to US President Donald Trump’s first official visit to this country. Delhi was literally burning as mainstream news channels were focussing on Trump. Understand the contrast here, there's a red carpet welcome for Trump in Delhi on day two of his visit on one hand, and an on the other, an entire chunk of Delhi such as Jafrabad, Maujpur, Chandbagh, Khajuri Khas, Bhajanpura, Seelampur, Noor Ilahi, Gokulpuri, Karawal Nagar — all these localities in North East Delhi are tense from 3 days of continuing violence. With the violence still continuing fingers are being pointed at each other regarding who’s responsible and some reports even quoted MHA sources saying the violence was planned to coincide with Trump’s visit. But who started the fire? There are a lot of questions about what is transpiring in Delhi right now. Tune in to The Big Story for more!
