Protests in US

Speaking on the protests that broke out in the US after a white policeman killed a black man, George Floyd, she said that US police allowed people to hold peaceful demonstrations whereas, in India, cases were booked against CAA protesters.

It may be recalled that during riots that broke out in Delhi in the month of February, police allegedly assaulted a person by name Faizan and forced her to sing national anthem. Later, he died.  

Injustice

The journalist said that when an incident of injustice take place in the US, civil society and the public raise their voice. In India too many persons raise their concern over injustices, however, it is negligible when compared to the US.

It may be noted that in the US, the death of George Floyd has sparked outrage across the nation. He was detained and subsequently died in police custody in Minneapolis.
