Delhi Riots-Gurdwaras open doors to provide shelter to Muslims

Gurdwaras show signs of hospitality in critical situations in India as they are offering support and shelter to Muslim families seeking freedom from violence in Delhi.

According to India’s local news agency, Sikh people are patrolling with their neighbors of Indian Muslims to make sure Muslims are not attacked.

In addition to this, many Gurdwaras are also providing shelter to Muslims for their protection against riots.

A novelist Nilanjana Roy posted a tweet, “In one part of Delhi, a gurdwara opens its doors to Muslims and anyone who needs shelter. In Seelampur, Dalits blocked the roads against mobs, sheltered their Muslim neighbors. Police and politicians have forgotten their duty, but the people have courage and heart.”
