On October 9, BJP parliamentarian Parvesh Verma called for a “total boycott” of Muslims because, he declared, they were trying to turn Delhi into a “mini Pakistan”.
The BJP leader was speaking at a protest in northeast Delhi's Dilshad Garden against the murder of Manish Kumar in nearby Sundar Nagri. Manish, 19, was allegedly killed by three men from his neighbourhood on October 1. They have been identified as Aalam, Bilal and Faizan.
