Taking to Twitter on February 28 amid news of global market collapse due to Coronavirus, author Chetan Bhagat taunted the obsession of Indians with the Hindu-Muslim debate.
In a series of tweets, the 45-year-old author highlighted several pressing issues that demand immediate attention instead of communal strife and disharmony.
His remarks come at a time when Delhi is limping back to normalcy after days of communal clashes that claimed at least 42 lives, including that of a police constable, and injured more than 300 persons. The violence broke out late last week in northeast Delhi, initially over the Citizenship Amendment Act. It soon escalated into brawls between people supporting and opposing the new law, before transforming into a full-fledged communal riot.
