Vienna killings create backlash in Punjab
Two dead already in Punjab. Curfew was imposed in at three cities of Jalandhar, Kapurthala, Ludhiana and Hoshiarpur. Traffic on the national highway and train services have been disruppted. Protesters also burnt down a train at Dakola near here but one was reported injured.
IMO: In my experience the Sikhs and Muslims seem to use any excuse for a riot. We found this in Southall, England earlier until the Brits left and the place was filled with Sikhs and Muslims. Even that detente is breaking down in Pak, where the Sikhs are currently having a bad time. This sort of thing would make you vote BNP on June 4th, but for the fact that at present the BNP are keen to attract Sikhs ! And that has been so typical of BNP in the past. Obviously, not all Sikhs and Muslims are like that. Not a simple matter, but another problem where India bears up reasonably but the UK is ghastly. So much more could be said.
